Mr. Hunter to Sir F. Bruce
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 28th ultimo, transmitting three copies of resolutions adopted at a public meeting held in London, Canada, on receipt of the news of the assassination of President Lincoln, and a copy of a letter addressed to the governor general of Canada by the mayor of Woodstock, and the resolutions adopted by the citizens of that place on the same mournful occasion.
I will thank you to cause to be conveyed to the respective parties from which these manifestations of sympathy have emanated, assurances that they are gratefully accepted by the government and the people of the United States, and I shall not fail to give to the copies of the resolutions the direction indicated in your note.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your obedient servant,
Hon. Sir Frederick W. A. Bruce, &c., &c., &c.
