Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.
Washington, March 25, 1864.
Sir: I am directed by her Majesty’s government to ask permission for a British man-of-war to take Mr. Crawford, her Majesty’s consul general at Havana, to Charleston or Wilmington, in order that he may proceed to Richmond to remonstrate with the so-styled confederate authorities at that place concerning certain grievances relative to British subjects, and to confederate agents in Great Britain.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
LYONS.
Hon. William H. Seward, &c., &c., &c.
