William H. Seward to Sir Frederick W. A. Bruce, August 6, 1866
Mr. Seward to Sir F. Bruce
Department of State, Washington, August 6, 1866.
Sir: Referring to my communication of the 16th of July last, and to your note of the same month, upon the subject of the detention of James Diamond in the Old Jail at Toronto, I have now the honor to enclose, for the consideration of her Majesty’s government in Canada, additional evidence in the favor of Mr. Diamond, who, it appears, has been, previous to his capture by the Canadian authorities, a faithful soldier in the service of the United States.
Requesting you to return the original papers to me after you have satisfied yourself as to their contents,
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
The Hon. Sir Frederick W. A. Bruce, &c., &c., &c.
