with the family of the late Mr.. Lincoln, and
with his Excellency President johnson. Iaiso
fulfilled the orders of my august master by in
forming You how much his Imperial Majesty
has been touched by the spontaneous testimon-
ia1s of respect which the Federal officers have
shown to the memory of his dearly beloved
son during the passage of the squadron bear
ing to Russia his mortal remains. I have al

ment the thanks of his Imperial Majesty
