Department of State, Washington, September 29, 1865.
Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 14th instant, (No. 1044,) in regard to the visit of the ex-Queen of the Sandwich Islands to England.
While approving your vigilance in the matter, I have to request that you will exercise your own discretion as to making suggestions to the effect that we would not look with satisfaction upon any special change in the attitude of the Hawaiian kingdom affecting its relations to the United States.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
