Sir Frederick W. A. Bruce to W. Hunter, June 3, 1865
Sir F. Bruce to Mr. Hunter
Washington, June 3, 1865.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of yesterday’s date, and of its enclosures, relative to an infamous attempt to introduce into New-York and other northern cities the dangerous contagious disease known as yellow fever.
I will lose no time in bringing your communication to the knowledge of the authorities of Bermuda, and you may rest assured that they will not fail to adopt every legal means in their power for the arrest and punishment of the persons implicated in this most atrocious scheme.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
FREDERICK W. A. BRUCE.
Hon. W. Hunter, &c., &c., &c.
