Legation of the United States to Spain, Ban Sebastian, August 23, 1864.
Sir: I have the honor to enclose a copy of a long letter from Señor Barreda, of August 22, at London, and of my reply of August 27, which closes this correspondence.
I was certainly under the impression, when I received his letter of August 6, already forwarded to you, that he was an authorized negotiator sent to Spain by his government, though he would receive further instructions here as indicated in your despatch No. 113, of July 15, to Mr. Koerner. * * *
With the highest respect, sir, your obedient servant,
HORATIO J. PERRY.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, &c., &c., &c.
