Letter

Viscount Monck to J. H. Burnley, February 28, 1865

Lord Monck to Mr. Burnley

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 22d instant, and its enclosure, relative to the purchase of the steamer Georgian, or Georgiana, by Mr. Denison, of Toronto.

I have the honor to state, in reply, that I had been already made aware of the change in the ownership of this vessel, and that a close watch has been kept, and will continue to be kept by the Canadian authorities, on any proceedings connected with her, in order to take the proper legal steps should any suspicious facts be disclosed.

I have, &c,

MONCK.

J. H. Burnley, Esq.
