Letter

Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, April 6, 1865

Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward

No. 916.]

Sir: I have to acknowledge the reception of despatches from the department numbered from 1303 to 1316, inclusive.

With regard to the directions contained in Nos. 1309, 1311, and 1315, as well as 1294, previously received, I had obtained an opportunity for an interview with Lord Russell to talk over the matters contained in them on Tuesday last; but upon paying my visit, I found his lordship was so unwell as to be unable to see me. I then left with him the despatches, as he had suggested, for his information only; and I made an arrangement to wait upon him as soon as he should be prepared to assign me a day.

I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
