William H. Seward to Gustavus Koerner , Esq., & c ., & c ., & c, July 28, 1864
Mr. Seward to Mr. Koerner.
No. 114]
Department of State, Washington, July 28, 1864.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 2d of July, which is accompanied by a copy of Mr. Pacheco’s circular letter concerning the difficulty between Spain and Peru.
Regarding this paper as practically reducing that controversy to one of form or ceremony, and confiding so much in the wisdom of the governments of these two respected countries as to believe that they will not suffer themselves to be profoundly alienated by such questions, the President is content to leave the subject to their exclusive consideration.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Gustavus Koerner, Esq., &c., &c., &c.,
