Letter

William H. Seward to Charles F. Adams, February 1, 1864

Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.

No. 824.]

Sir: Your despatch of the 14th of January (No. 574) has been received. Nothing has occurred here to raise a doubt as to the authenticity of the report of S. R. Mallory, to which it relates. It has internal evidences of genuineness, although it is wonderful that such a paper should have been promulgated.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

Charles F. Adams, &c., &c., &c.
