Letter

Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, August 27, 1863

Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.

No. 483.]

Sir: On a close examination of your despatch No. 667, of the 29th July, I discovered not a little difficulty in executing the duty there imposed upon me.

The note to Lord Russell, a copy of which is transmitted, was the result of my most careful reflection. I trust that it may be considered to have answered the purpose.

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

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

Hon. William H. Seward. Secretary of State, &c.
