Letter
Right Honorable Earl Russell to Charles Francis Adams, April 24, 1865
Earl Russell to Mr. Adams
Foreign Office, April 24, 1865.
Sir: With reference to your letter of October last relative to some discharged convicts from Newfoundland who received public aid to quit the colony, and made use of that aid to proceed to the United States, I have the honor to inform you that a despatch has been received from the governor of Newfoundland stating that he will do his best to prevent, so far as depends upon the government, the recurrence of any similar grounds of complaint.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
RUSSELL.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
