Letter

Charles Francis Adams to John Russell, 1st Earl Russell, December 12, 1864

Mr. Adams to Earl Russell

My Lord: I have the honor to submit to your consideration a copy of a letter addressed to the Secretary of War, at Washington, by the officer holding the chief command in the military department embracing the northern frontier of the United States. I have already been called upon to enter so fully into the argument connected with this subject, that I deem it superfluous on the present occasion to do more than to furnish this paper as an additional illustration.

I pray your lordship to accept the assurance of the highest consideration with which I have the honor to be, my lord, your lordship’s most obedient servant,

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

The Right Hon. Earl Russell, &c., &c., &c.
