Letter
Washburne to Hamilton Fish, August 2, 1872
No. 129. Mr. Washburne to Mr. Fish.
[Extract.]
Legation of the United States, Paris, August 2, 1872. (Received August 15.)
No. 671.]
Sir: The National Assembly has substantially completed its labors for the session, and has determined to adjourn over from the 4th instant until the 11th of November. Mr. Thiers has greatly strengthened himself in the country within the last few months, and it may be said that he is now completely master of the situation. He goes to Trouville, on the sea-shore, for a little rest, and after that it is said that he will go to Fontainebleau, to remain until the assembly shall reconvene.
The success of the three-milliard loan is something astonishing. It has been covered twelve times and a half, and the French people are very much rejoiced.
I have. &c,
E. B. WASHBURNE.
