Letter
William H. Seward to J. Ross Browne, August 17, 1868
Mr. Seward to Mr. Browne
Department of State, Washington, August 17, 1868.
Sir: Your letter, written at San Francisco on the 24th of July last, has been received. It is accompanied by a correspondence which has taken place between yourself and Mr. George Wilkes, director of the Lower California Company, on the subject of emigration from China to Lower California.
I see nothing to disapprove of in your letter to Mr. Wilkes. The emigration movement which is the subject of this correspondence will doubtless prove beneficial, if justly, wisely, and generously conducted. I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
J. Ross Browne, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
