Mr. Burnley to Mr. Seward

Washington, March 15, 1865.

My Dear Sir: Would you permit me to recall your attention to my note of the 28th January, enclosing copies of despatches elucidatory of Earl Russell’s slave trade despatch, No. 9, of which I left you a copy, relative to the joint invitation to powers declaring slave trade piracy.

Believe me to remain, my dear sir, yours, very faithfully,

J. HUME BURNLEY.

Hon. William H. Seward, &c., &c., &c.
