Letter

Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.

Department of State, Washington, June 21, 1864.

General Sherman telegraphed yesterday that he had been in error in saying that the enemy had retreated to the Chattahoochee river. You will correct my No. 1,000 by this last information.

All was quiet on the 19th, 20th, and 22d, at Petersburg; but Lieutenant General Grant is not idle there.

I am, sir,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
