Letter
By the President: Wm. M. Evarts to Charles R. Lowell, January 20, 1881
No. 300. Mr. Evarts to Mr. Lowell.
Department of State, Washington, January 20, 1881.
No. 102.]
Sir: Your No. 115, of the 7th instant, on the present critical condition of Ireland, has been read with the attention due not only to the importance of the subject but also to your lucid treatment thereof. This government cannot but watch with attention and some degree of solicitude the successive phases of a question touching the welfare of a population with which our own people have so many and close ties of blood, and cherishes the confident hope that a wise and statesmanlike policy on the part of the enlightened rulers of the United Kingdom may soon restore perfect tranquillity to so important a part of Her Majesty’s dominions.
I am, &c.,
WM. M. EVARTS.
