William H. Seward to Right Hon. Lord Lyons, March 22, 1864
Mr. Seward to Lord Lyons.
Department of State, Washington, March 22, 1864.
My Lord: I do myself the honor to enclose a copy of a letter of the 16th instant, and of the accompanying affidavit, addressed to this department by Messrs. Haidy & Hardy, of Brantford, Canada West, upon the subject of the alleged abduction of Ira Lee and George Cooper from United States territory by a Canadian constable. It is desirable that the case should receive due investigation, and that proper amends should be made, if the facts should turn out to be as set forth in the papers.
I have the honor to be, with high consideration, my lord, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Right Hon. Lord Lyons, &c., &c., &c.
