Letter
THURSTON, United States Consul to R. A. Harrison, July 13, 1866
Letter sent to Mr. Harrison
United States Consulate, Toronto, July 13, 1866.
Dear Sir: I trust you will pardon any seeming importunity on my part when I again ask if Ellis, Dillon, and Carney are to be released. The proof, so clear and full, would, I am confident, satisfy any one of their entire innocence, and I most respectfully ask that the government be requested to discharge them at once. I know their families are suffering, and, in view of the excessive hot weather, it would seem nothing more than justice that they be discharged at once.
I am, sir, very truly, yours,
D. THURSTON, United States Consul.
R. A. Harrison, Esq., Toronto.
