BENJAMIN MORAN, Assistant Secretary of Legation to William H. Seward, January 17, 1863
Mr. Moran to Mr. Seward.
Legation of the United States, London, January 17, 1863.
Sir: I have the honor, under directions from Mr. Adams, to forward herewith a slip from the Morning Star of to-day, giving a report of the reception by him of a deputation composed of members of the executive committee of the London Emancipation Society, whose address, approving of the President’s proclamation, he had the honor to transmit with his despatch (No. 299) of yesterday’s date.
I am also directed to inform you that another address, from a meeting of seven hundred citizens of Salford, in Lancashire, has been received, but too late for transmission this week.
I have the honor to be, sir, with great respect, your obedient servant,
BENJAMIN MORAN, Assistant Secretary of Legation.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
