Letter
William H. Seward to William Stuart, June 20, 1862
Mr. Seward to Mr. Stuart.
Department of State, Washington, June 20, 1862.
Sir: As you are doubtless aware, Lord Lyons, a short time since, left at this department the copy of a letter of the 30th ultimo, addressed to himself by P. Edwards, esq., her Britannic Majesty’s acting consul at New York, relative to certain restrictions upon exports, especially coal, to Nassau and other British possessions, which was referred to the Secretary of the Treasury for information on the subject. I now have the honor to enclose to you a transcript of that officer’s reply.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you, sir, the assurance of my high consideration.
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Hon. William Stuart, &c., &c., &c.
