Right Hon. Lord Lyons to Wm. H. Seward, April 16, 1863
Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.
Washington, April 16, 1863.
Sir: I have had the honor to receive your note of yesterday’s date, and its enclosures, relative to a report that attempts were being made to fit out privateers at Vancouver’s island for the enemies of the United States.
I will lose no time in forwarding copies of your communication to her Majesty’s government, and to the governor of Vancouver’s island.
I have already sent, by telegraph, directions to her Majesty’s consul at San Francisco, to write, in my name, to the governor on the subject.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
LYONS.
Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State.
