Letter
Right Hon. Earl Russell to Charles Francis Adams, June 30, 1864
Earl Russell to Mr. Adams.
Foreign Office, June 30, 1864.
Sir: With reference to my note of the 19th of March, I have the honor to transmit to you a copy of a despatch which has been addressed by Mr. Vice Consul Butterfield to her Majesty’s consul at New York, explaining his proceedings with regard to Edward T. Rich, which formed the subject of your note of the 8th of the same month.
I have the honor to add—that it appears to her Majesty’s government that Mr. Butterfield’s conduct in this matter has not been such as to merit their animadversion.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
RUSSELL.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
