William Hunter to Henry J. Sanford, January 9, 1866
Mr. Hunter to Mr. Sanford.
No. 191.]
Department of State, Washington, January 9, 1866.
Sir: Your despatches Nos. 321, 322, 323, and 324, dated, respectively, the 11th and 19th of December, and your two communications marked private, and dated the 12th and 15th of the same month, have been received, and have been read with much interest. The sad event to which they principally refer, the death of King Leopold, created a profound sensation in this country, and awakened a universal feeling of sorrow. The enthusiasm which was excited by the inauguration of his son betokens a happy and prosperous reign.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
W. HUNTER, Acting Secretary.
Henry J. Sanford, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
