Westmann to Cassius M. Clay, January 5, 1868
Mr. Westmann to Mr. Clay
A B.
[Translation from the French.]
The chancellor of the empire, who is sick, as you know, my dear general, has charged me to answer your note of the 6th–18th of January, instant. Having asked (demandé) of the minister of marine information upon the affair named in your note, Admiral Krabbé has just informed us that the minister of marine has not, up to the present time, any knowledge of the conflict (conflit) which has taken place in the Sea of Okhotsk between the Russian and American ships.
Accept, my dear general, of my expression of the most distinguished consideration,
WESTMANN.
January 5, 1868.
