William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, April 25, 1863
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.
No. 569.]
Department of State, Washington, April 25, 1863.
Sir: Your despatch No. 360 has been received. The accompanying answer to the Exeter Hall addresses supplies the omission to which you refer. You will please reply in similar terms to that from Bradford, making such changes as the circumstances may to you seem to be necessary. You will bear in mind a previous instruction to you on the subject, to the effect that, with a view to avoid any show even of disrespect to her Majesty’s government, it is deemed advisable, before communicating the answers to the addresses, to submit them to the perusal of Earl Russell.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
