Viscount Monck to J. H. Burnley, April 11, 1865
Viscount Monck to Mr. Burnley
Government House, Quebec, April 11, 1865.
SIR: In my despatch of the 28th March I informed you that I had taken measures for investigating the truth of the statements made by —— respecting the organization at Amprior, in Canada West, of persons alleged to contemplate hostile incursions into the United States. The reports by the officers instructed to make inquiries on the subject lead me to believe that there was no foundation for ——‘s statements, and that no such designs as he mentioned had any existence.
I have the honor to transmit to you copies of these reports.
I have, &c., &c,
MONCK.
J. H. Burnley, &c., &c., &c.
