Mr. Wood to Mr. Seward
No. 98.]
Legation of the United States, Copenhagen, January 20, 1863.
Sir: The President’s proclamation and news of the battle at Murfreesborough reached us by the same mail. These are, I think, the two greatest events of this war, and which is now begun in earnest on the part of the north.
* * * * * * * *
Depend upon it, that proclamation is the severest blow the confederates have received this side of the Atlantic. I am glad to see that such a force has gone south under Banks.
* * * * * * * *
I remain, very truly, your obedient servant,
BRADFORD R. WOOD.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State.
