Letter
Joseph Parker to William H. Seward, November 26, 1864
Mr. Parker to Mr. Seward.
Metropolitan Hotel, Washington, D. C, November 26, 1864.
Honorable Sir: In reply to your letter of to-day, permit me to state that the address which I have had the honor of being deputed by the parties signing it to bring to this country, and containing the signatures of some three hundred and fifty thousand of my countrymen—from the peer to the artisan—is not from the government of Great Britain nor from any political party. It is simply an expression of the earnest desire of the masses of the people of Great Britain, to see, peace again restored to this continent.
Waiting your favor, I am, honorable sir, yours, most obediently,
JOSEPH PARKER.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, &c., &c., &c.
