Letter

William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, June 18, 1863

Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.

No. 631.]

Sir: Your despatch of the 4th of June (No. 424) has been received. The President receives with deep regret information of the interruption of diplomatic intercourse between her Majesty’s government and that of the Emperor of Brazil. It seems that the difference which has separated the two powers was reduced to a very narrow line, and it is sincerely to be hoped that some amicable way may be speedily found to cause it to disappear.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

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