Letter
Washburne to Hamilton Fish, September 26, 1870
Mr. E. B. Washburne to Mr. Fish.
No. 269.]
Legation of the United States, Paris, August 26, 1870. (Received September 8, 1870.)
Sir: We are still utterly in the dark here as to war news, and the greatest uneasiness begins to prevail among the Americans finding themselves at the present time in Paris. Large numbers are leaving, not knowing what may take place. The proclamation of the governor of Paris, only placarded last night, and which I send herewith, has added to the excitement already existing. Our crowd of Germans had considerably decreased yesterday, but it is largely increased to-day on account of the proclamation of General Trochu.
I have not telegraphed you any news for several days, for I have had nothing sufficiently reliable to justify it.
E. B. WASHBURNE.
