Letter
William H. Seward to Cassius M. Clay, February 24, 1864
Mr. Seward to Mr. Clay
No. 62.]
Department of State, Washington, February 24, 1864.
Sir: Your despatch of January 25, No. 38, has been received. I shall prize very highly the contribution to our archives which the direction of the Invalide Russia has made.
The President is highly gratified with the good feeling expressed by the Emperor.
If we are not disappointed the campaign now opening will so far restore the prestige of the government of the Union as to warrant us in hoping that Russia will not be so much isolated as she has hitherto been in a just and friendly policy towards the United States.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Cassius M. Clay, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
