Washington, July 25, 1861.
Sir: Your despatch of June 26 (No. 2) has been received. So much of it as relates to the preservation of the archives, and other matters of subordinate interest, will be noticed in a distinct paper.
The President is gratified by the account of the friendly reception you have received from his Majesty, and directs me to congratulate you upon the good auspices under which your mission is commenced. You will lose no good opportunity for assuring the government of Sweden that the United States entertain the highest consideration and cherish the best wishes for his Majesty and the Swedish people.
I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Jacob S. Haldeman, Esq., &c., &c., &c., Stockholm.
