Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs, Accompanying the Annual Message of the President to the Second Session Thirty-eighth Congress, Part I

No. 2.

Mr. Hammond to Mr. Waddington.

Foreign Office, January 22, 1864.

Sir: I have laid before Earl Russell your letter of the 18th instant, respecting a man named P. H. Finney, who has recently arrived in Ireland from America, for the purpose, as there appears to be some reason to think, of enlisting men for service in the federal army; and I am to request that you will state to Secretary Sir George Grey that Lord Russell would suggest that the home office should consult the law officers of the crown with regard to this matter.

I am, &c.,

E. HAMMOND.
