Letter
John A. Dix to William H. Seward, October 24, 1867
Mr. Dix to Mr. Seward
No. 142.]
Legation of the United States, Paris, October 24, 1867.
Sir: When I wrote you two days ago the insurrectionary movement in Italy seemed to be extending, and there was a probability that the Italian army would march to Rome to aid in sustaining the papal power. Yesterday brought us news of an apparent collapse of the insurrection, and the probability that the Pope will be able to maintain his position without assistance from abroad. The inevitable fate of Rome will in that case, as would now seem likely, be further postponed.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN A. DIX.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
