Charles Francis Adams to Right Honorable Earl Russell, March 2, 1863
Mr. Adams to Lord Russell.
Legation of the United States, London, March 2, 1863.
My Lord: I have the honor to acknowledge the reception of your lordship’s note of the 28th ultimo. Deeply regretting the misconduct of her Majesty’s consul at Mobile, so much calculated to shake the security of my government in the good faith of persons to whom it is always desirous to extend every courtesy, I shall derive great satisfaction in reporting the prompt action taken by your lordship in dismissing the principal party to the offence.
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 Honorable Earl Russell, &c., &c., &c.
