Letter
William L. Dayton to M. Drouyn de l’Huys, June 11, 1864
[Untitled]
Paris, June 11, 1864.
Monsieur le Ministre: You have no doubt been informed that the rebel corsair, the Alabama, arrived to-day at Cherbourg with thirty-seven federal prisoners.
Like protests as made by me in the cases of the Florida and the Georgia I beg, for still stronger reasons, to extend to the Alabama.
Accept, sir, the assurance of highest consideration with which I have the honor to be, your excellency’s very obedient servant,
WM. L. DAYTON.
His Excellency M. Drouyn de l’Huys, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Paris.
