William H. Seward to The Viscount Treilhard, August 27, 1862
Mr. Seward to Viscount Treilhard.
Department of State, Washington, August 27, 1862.
Sir: Referring to your note of the 12th instant, relative to the issuing of orders for the purpose of facilitating communications between the French legation here and the consulate of France at Richmond, and to my reply, I now have the honor to enclose to you the copy of a letter of the 23d of this month from the War Department on the subject, from which it would seem that it is not thought practicable or proper, at the present time, to exchange the mails as proposed by your note.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you, sir, the assurance of my high consideration.
F. W. SEWARD, Acting Secretary.
The Viscount Treilhard, &c., &c., &c.
