Letter

Right Hon. Lord Lyons to William H. Seward, March 23, 1863

Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.

My Dear Sir: A British subject has written to ask me to inquire from you whether you will grant permits to British subjects to load ships with cotton in the Savannah river below the confederate obstructions. Will you be so kind as to tell me what answer I should make ?

Yours, faithfully,

LYONS.

Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, &c.
