Mr. Adams to Lord Russell, May 6, 1863.

Mr. Adams to Lord Russell.

Legation of the United States, London, May 6, 1863.

My Lord: I have the honor to submit to your consideration copies of certain papers which have been transmitted to me from my government, showing the progress made in the United States in an attempt to establish greater facilities in the taking of testimony to be used in foreign countries in cases in which governments may be interested. As this would seem to be an object of international concern by reason of the conveniences that may thus be reciprocally afforded, I am directed to solicit the favorable attention of her Majesty’s government to the subject.

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

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

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