Letter

William H. Seward to Francis Clare Ford, November 9, 1867

Mr. Seward to Mr. Ford

Sir: I have received your note of this date, together with a copy thereunto annexed of a confidential despatch of Lord Stanley to her Majesty’s agent and consul-general in Egypt, on the subject of a proposed modification of the form of judicial proceedings affecting foreigners in that country.

I beg you to return to Lord Stanley my thanks for that interesting paper. I shall with pleasure recur to it, if the questions it discusses shall hereafter come under consideration in the United States.

I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

Francis Clare Ford, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
