Sir Frederick W. A. Bruce to Wm. Hunter, June 5, 1865
Sir F. Bruce to Mr. Hunter
Washington, June 5, 1865.
Sir: With reference to my note of the 18th ultimo, relative to the excessive charges levied on British vessels in the port of Boston, I have the honor to transmit copies of a further despatch, and of its enclosures, which I have received from her Majesty’s consul at Boston, from which it appears that the system complained of is still in force with respect to British vessels, notwithstanding the instructions of the Treasury Department.
I have the honor to be, with high consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
FREDERICK W. A. BRUCE.
Hon. Wm. Hunter, &c., &c., &c.
