Letter

WILLIAM HUNTER, Acting Secretary of State to Benjamin Moran, June 13, 1865

Mr. Hunter to Mr. Moran

My Dear Sir: I have received your note, accompanied by a letter addressed to the President of the United States by the members of the lodge La Concorde, composed of Frenchmen residing at London, expressive of their feelings with regard to the assassination of the late President.

The explanation you give me regarding the mutilation of the seal of that letter is entirely satisfactory.

I am, my dear sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM HUNTER, Acting Secretary of State.

Benjamin Moran, Esq, &c., &c., &c.
