Letter
Drouyn de L’huys to William L. Dayton, September 22, 1864
[Translation.]
M. Drouyn de l’Huys to Mr. Dayton
Paris, September 22, 1864.
Sir: I hastened to write to M. the minister of the marine upon the subject of the two clipper ships in course of construction at Nantes, and the two iron-clad vessels in the ship-yards at Bordeaux, which were the object of your letter of the 29th of August last. M. the Marquis de Chasseloup-Laubat has just sent me his answer, and I cannot do better than transmit to you the text itself of this communication, which contains the answer of the government of the Emperor to the observations which you did me the honor to address me.
Accept the assurances of the high consideration with which I have the honor to be, sir, your very humble and very obedient servant,
DROUYN DE L’HUYS.
Mr. Dayton, Minister of the United States at Paris.
