The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Late President of the United States of America, and the Attempted Assassination of William H. Seward, Secretary of State (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1866), 285.

The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Late President of the United States of America, and the Attempted Assassination of William H. Seward, Secretary of State (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1867), 374.

At the half-yearly general meeting of the Grand Trunk Railroad Company of Canada, held at the London Tavern, London, on Thursday, the 27th of April, 1865, Edward W. Watkins, esq., M. P., in the chair. It was moved by Mr. Filder, seconded by Mr. Champness, and carried unanimously, in solemn silence—

That this meeting of holders of property, much of which is protected by the laws and institutions of the United States, desires to express its horror and detestation of the crimes of assassination by which the invaluable life of President Lincoln has been sacrificed, and that of Mr. Secretary Seward placed in extreme jeopardy, and to record its conviction that a grievous loss has thereby been occasioned not only to the United States, but to the civilized world at large.

EDWARD W. WATKINS,
 President.
