Letter

William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, July 24, 1863

Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.

No. 664.]

Sir: Your despatch of the 9th of July (No. 448) has been received. Before this time the original intercepted insurrectionary correspondence will have reached England. This, although too late for the case of the Alexandra, will be seasonable for the case which has arisen.

I still reserve comment upon the proceedings on Mr. Roebuck’s motion until they shall have attained a practical result.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
