Letter

Right Hon. Earl Russell to Charles Francis Adams, December 16, 1862

Earl Russell to Mr. Adams.

Sir: With reference to my note of the 20th ultimo, I have the satisfaction of informing you that further inquiries which have been instituted respecting the alleged recruiting in London for the United States army seem to establish that the reports to that effect which had reached her Majesty’s government were without foundation.

I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,

RUSSELL.

Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
