Mr. de Geofroy to Mr. Hunter
Sir: The French community at New York held on Tuesday, the 18th of this month, a meeting under the presidency of the consul general of his Majesty in that city, where a series of resolutions was adopted, of which three copies have been sent to me; one for the government of the United States, another for the family of the deceased President Lincoln, and a third for that of Mr. Seward.
These resolutions express the indignation and the sorrow which the horrible outrages of the last week have caused our countrymen to experience.
I pray you, sir, to be so good as to cause these papers to reach their destination, and I seize this occasion to renew to you the assurances of my most distinguished consideration.
Hon. William Hunter, &c., &c., &c.
