Letter
Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, March 9, 1865
Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward
No. 890.]
Legation of the United States, London, March 9, 1865.
Sir: In anticipation of the receipts of the comments which are doubtless on their way to me from America, upon the issue of the trial of Mr. Rumble, I now transmit a copy of a note from Lord Russell to me, of the 8th instant, announcing the course which has been taken respecting that personage by the government. Considering that, in the face of the law, he has been held innocent of the offence, I cannot see that much more could have been done to him than has been done. As an indication of the animus of the government, I think it may be favorably received.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
