Letter
Reverdy Johnson to William H. Seward, November 12, 1868
[Telegram per cable.]
Mr. Johnson to Mr. Seward.
Legation of the United States, London, November 12, 1868.
Will try Washington. Best for Alabama claims. All proof here. If umpire European, Washington would much delay settlement. Did not understand you wished Washington. Your 375 to Adams says not of sufficient importance to insist on. Stanley not here. Can do nothing without him. Convention, yesterday’s mail.
REVERDY JOHNSON.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
