Letter

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

Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward.

No. 1105.]

Sir: I have the honor to transmit a copy of a note addressed to me by Lord Clarendon, on the 2d instant, in acknowledgment of mine to him of the 18th of last months in reply to Lord Russell’s valedictory.

Thus I trust, that we have reached the term of the controversial struggle. I concur in the opinion of his lordship that it was time to bring it to a close.

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

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

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