Letter
William H. Seward to George P. Marsh , Esq., & c ., & c ., & c . , Turin, February 25, 1864
Mr. Seward to Mr. Marsh.
No. 90.]
Department of State, Washington, February 25, 1864.
Sir: I have received your despatch of February 2, No. 83, and I thank you very sincerely for the careful and comprehensive survey of European politics which it presents. Since it was written war has begun between Germany and Denmark, and the discussions which that event have elicited in Great Britain seem to justify your speculations upon the probable course of her Majesty’s government with regard to it.
Our own affairs continue to improve. The movement of General Sherman involves very important consequences if it shall prove successful.
Political activity is now being directed towards the canvass, preparatory to the presidential election.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
George P. Marsh, Esq., &c., &c., &c., Turin.
