Mr. Hunter to Mr. de Geofroy
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 22d instant, transmitting three copies of resolutions adopted by French residents of the city of New York, at a meeting held on the 18th instant, and presided over by the consul general of France, expressive of their indignation and sorrow at the assassination of President Lincoln and the attempts to take the lives of the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of State.
I shall find much satisfaction in causing the copies of these humane and characteristic resolutions of your generous countrymen to be disposed of in the manner indicated in your note.
Accept, sir, a renewed assurance of my very high consideration.
Mr. L. de Geofroy, &c., &c., &c.
