Letter
Right Hon. Lord Lyons to William H. Seward, March 13, 1864
Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.
Washington, March 13, 1864.
Sir: I have the honor to enclose for your consideration a copy of a letter which I have received from the governor general of Canada, transmitting a copy of a letter addressed to his excellency by Mr. White, an extensive breeder of cattle, requesting that the United States government, will so far relax the order against the exportation of live stock as to enable him to take into Canada a bull lately purchased by him in the United States.
I venture to express a hope that the governor general’s request in favor of Mr. White may be taken into favorable consideration.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
LYONS.
Hon. William H. Seward, &c., &c., &c.
