Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, September 21, 1865
Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward
No. 1052.]
Legation of the United States, London, September 21, 1865.
Sir: I now have the honor to transmit to you a copy of my note to Lord Russell, in reply to his of the 30th of August, which I have already mentioned as in preparation. It is longer than I had intended to make it, but I hope it may serve to close the controversy on this side. I beg to observe that nearly all of the historical portion, which most conduced to prolixity, was of his lordship’s making,
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
