Letter
William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, May 1, 1862
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.
No. 244.]
Department of State, Washington, May 1, 1862.
Sir: Mr. Dudley, our vigilant consul at Liverpool, writes that the subscription which was gotten up in that place to aid the insurrection in this country mounted up to £40,000 sterling, and that all that large sum of money has been invested in arms and munitions of war. He states also that a second subscription for the same purpose is now being filled up at the same place.
I can hardly doubt that he has brought these facts to your notice, and that you have called the attention of her Majesty’s government to them.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
