Mr. Seward to Sir F. Bruce
Mr. Seward presents his compliments to Sir Frederick Bruce, and has the honor to acknowledge the receipt of his note of the 7th instant, enclosing a letter and resolution of the Methodist New Connexion church of Canada, which had been transmitted to Sir Frederick Bruce by his excellency the governor general of that province.
Mr. Seward begs that Sir Frederick Bruce will convey, through his excellency the governor general, and William Tindall, esq., their secretary, residing at Aylmer, Canada West, to the respected body from which the friendly and humane expressions in regard to the assassination of the late President of the United States, to the question of slavery, and the relations, past and future, between the two nations, emanate, an assurance that they are gratefully appreciated by the government and people of the United States.
