Letter
Sackville West to Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, March 24, 1882
[Inclosure 2 in No. 45.]
Mr. West to Mr. Frelinghuysen.
Washington, March 24, 1882.
Sir: I have the honor to state to you that information has reached me respecting the imprisonment of a British subject named William Lane, in Wayne County jail, Detroit, Mich., from which it would appear that the arrest took place on the 18th June last, and that since that date Lane has been held in jail awaiting trial, which he asserts he is unable to obtain.
Under these circumstances I have recourse to your good offices, in order that inquiry may be made respecting this case.
I have, &c.,
L. S. SACKVILLE WEST.
