Letter

William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, June 16, 1866

Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.

No. 1789.]

Sir: I will thank you to bring to the attention of her Majesty’s government he enclosed copy of a representation made by a number of gentlemen of Hart, ford, Connecticut, in regard to the case of Thomas J. Hynes, who, it appears as improperly imprisoned in Ireland by the British officers. The necessity of his application may be removed by the release of Mr. Hynes anterior to the ate of this despatch, but if this be not the case you may request information concerning the reasons which warrant a continued detention.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
