Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.
No. 1690.]
Department of State, Washington, February 20, 1866.
Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 4th ultimo. The information which it contains in regard to Parliament political tendencies, and the tone of the British press towards the United States, is appreciated. Mr. Hunter caused the copies of the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, desired by you, to be forwarded during my recent absence.
It is gratifying to me to be able to say that from all foreign countries we are receiving similar indications of confidence in our credit, resources, and stability as a nation, to those which your despatch affords.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
