Letter

William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, April 7, 1864

Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.

No. 905.]

Sir: In your despatch No. 628 you have given me an account of the proceedings of the Scottish tribunal at Edinburgh, against the Pampero. The just opinions so clearly expressed by the court in that case serve to augment the regret which this government feels that the cause of international peace and harmony have suffered so deeply from the want of equal clearness and decision in the proceedings of the courts of London in the case of the Alexandra. I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

C. F. Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
