De Geofroy to William H. Seward, November 1, 1864
[Translation.]
Mr. Geofroy to Mr. Seward
Legation of France to the United States, Washington, November 1, 1864.
Sir: I have received the answer which you were pleased to make to me on the 30th of September last, respecting the reclamation of Messrs. Brulaton & Company, of New Orleans, and in which your excellency informs me that a petition to Congress in behalf of these Frenchmen would meet with the chances of a favorable reception. I therefore request of you the goodness to make this request at the next session of the legislature, through a bill for the purpose of meeting the rights of these French subjects.
Accept, sir, the assurances of my high consideration.
L. DE GEOFROY.
Hon. William H. Seward.
