Sir F. Bruce to Mr. Seward
Washington, July 5, 1866.
Sir: With reference to my note of the 31st May last, I have the honor to inform you that I have received a despatch from his excellency the governor general of Canada, stating that the government of Prince Edward’s Island has decided on adopting the system agreed to by the other provinces; consequently a fishing license issued by either Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, or Prince Edward’s Island will now entitle the possessor of it to fish in the waters of all those colonies.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
FREDERICK W. A. BRUCE.
Hon. William H. Seward, &c., &c., &c.
