William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, August 31, 1865
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams
No. 1534.]
Department of State, Washington, August, 31, 1865.
Sir: It is desirable that a decision in the case of insurgent’s property in England, for which suit has been brought on behalf of this government, especially that of the cotton at Liverpool, should be postponed until the Hon. Caleb Cushing can reach that country, for which he will soon embark, for the purpose of attending to the public interests involved. You will consequently cause this wish to be made known to the United States counsel.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
