Letter

THURSTON, United States Consul to Hon. William McDougall, July 13, 1866

Telegram sent to Hon. William McDougall

Hon. William McDougall, Provincial Secretary, Ottawa, C. W.:

Is there any reason why Ellis, Dillon, and Carney should not be discharged at once? The evidence of their innocence is certainly conclusive, and has been before your government for a week.

D. THURSTON, United States Consul.
