Letter
Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, August 25, 1864
Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.
No. 767.]
Legation of the United States, London, August 25, 1864.
Sir: A telegram was received at this legation yesterday, at one o’clock p. m., from the consular agent at Dover, announcing the arrival of the steamer Niagara, on her way to Antwerp. The Georgia had been taken and sent as prize to the United States. The crew were landed at Dover.
This event has made some sensation here. The newspapers express opinions based on little information, and prompted by their respective predilections in our struggle. Should any official indication be made visible in the Times to-morrow morning I shall send a copy with the despatch.
I am your obedient servant,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
Hon. William H. Seward, &c., &c., &c.
