Mr. Seward to Lord Lyons.
Department of State, Washington, December 3, 1862.
My Lord: I have the honor to acknowledge the reception of your lordship’s note of the 29th of November last, which relates to the subject of the liability to draft of aliens, who, although not naturalized, have exercised the elective franchise, and I shall with pleasure give just consideration to the views you have presented when I come to the examination of cases in which they practically arise.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to your lordship the assurance of my high consideration.
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Right Hon. Lord Lyons, &c., &c., &c.
