Letter

Bancroft to Hamilton Fish, September 11, 1870

[Cable telegram.]

Mr. Bancroft to Mr. Fish.

No time now for America to intervene. Germany rejects all foreign interference. Every other power holds back. America would stand alone and unable to accomplish anything. Our interest, dignity, require us for the present to stand aloof.

BANCROFT.
