Letter
William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, December 26, 1864
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams
No. 1201]
Department of State, Washington, December 26, 1864.
Sir: Your despatch of December 1, No. 823, has been received, together with a copy of a note which Earl Russell has written to James M. Mason, John Slidell and Dudley Mann. If the present government of her Majesty were less just or generous towards the United States than they are, I might think it wise to raise a question upon that extraordinary communication.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD,
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
