Letter
William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, July 2, 1866
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.
No. 1794.]
Department of State, Washington, July 2, 1866.
Sir: Your despatch of the 14th of June, No. 1217, has been received. Later advices report the virtual dissolution of the German bund. I apprehend that collision has actually occurred between Austria and Prussia.
I am not surprised by the forbearance which the British government at present exhibits in regard to the war; but I shall be very much disappointed if the people of Great Britain shall permanently acquiesce in the silence of their government, and its waiting for events.
I am, sir, your obedient servant
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
