William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, August 13, 1867
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams
No. 2039.]
Department of State, Washington, August 13, 1867.
Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 22d of July, No. 1409. It authorizes me to assume that you will cheerfully comply with the joint resolution of Congress in regard to the dress to be worn on state ceremonial occasions. I have not the least doubt that your discretion will be a better guide for your proceedings in matters collateral with that subject than any instructions which could be given by this department.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
