Lord Lyons to Mr. Seward.
Washington,
December 16, 1863.
My dear Sir: I send you a copy of the telegram which I have despatched to the administrator of the government of Nova Scotia, in consequence of the note which I received from you this morning respecting the affair of the Chesapeake, and the conversation which I had with you on the subject afterwards.
I have despatched an identic telegram to the lieutenant governor of New Brunswick.
Yours, faithfully,
LYONS.
Hon. William H. Seward.
