William H. Seward to Right Hon. Lord Lyons, February 23, 1863
Mr. Seward to Lord Lyons.
Department of State, Washington, February 23, 1863.
My Lord: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 21st instant, accompanied by a copy of a letter addressed to you by Mr. J. M. Vernon, who claims to be a British subject, who was rescued from the steamer Huntress, a blockade-runner from Charleston, and subsequently committed to Fort Lafayette.
In reply, I have the honor to acquaint you that the case shall forthwith be examined, with a view to such further proceedings as the result may appear to call for.
I have the honor to be your very obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Right Hon. Lord Lyons, &c., &c., &c.
