Letter
Right Hon. Lord Lyons to Wm. H. Seward, December 10, 1862
Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.
Washington, December 10, 1862.
Sir: On the 19th of March last I had the honor, by command of her Majesty’s government, to ask the government of the United States for compensation for Mr. John Carville Stovin, respecting whose arrest and imprisonment I had previously been in correspondence with you.
I venture to call your attention again to this matter, as I have received a letter from Mr. Stovin stating that he is still suffering most serious inconvenience from the consequences of his imprisonment.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
LYONS.
Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State.
