[Extract.]
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams
No. 1819.]
Department of State, Washington, July 30, 1866.
Sir: I have your despatch of the 12th instant, No. 1235. It gives pleasure to learn that you find Lord Stanley exhibiting a friendly spirit with regard to the relations between the United States and Great Britain.
Sir Frederick Bruce, the British representative here, is, I think, deeply in pressed with the necessity of arriving, by some means, at a better understanding than has hitherto existed concerning the claims of our citizens for indemnities for injuries sustained during the war.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
