Right Hon. Lord Lyons to Wm. H. Seward, April 2, 1863
Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.
Washington, April 2, 1863.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note, of the day before yesterday’s date, referring to an attempt to fit out a privateer at Victoria, Vancouver’s island, which had been frustrated, and suggesting that the attention of the colonial authorities should be called to the subject, with a view to prevent the repetition of any such attempt.
I will, without loss of time, transmit a copy of your note to her Majesty’s government, and to the governor of Vancouver’s island.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient humble servant,
LYONS.
Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State.
