Letter
William H. Seward to Charles Francis Adams, November 10, 1862
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.
No. 396.]
Department of State, Washington, November 10, 1862.
Sir: Your despatch of the 23d of October (No. 244) has been received. The President regrets that her Majesty’s government has not more favorably considered our complaints against the violations of municipal and international law, committed by British subjects under the British flag, in the case of the steamer “290,” or “Alabama.” It is to be apprehended that attempts by the same and similar vessels to repeat the same injuries will ultimately require a more deliberate consideration of the subject than the government now seems willing to accord.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
