Washington, September 7, 1861.
Sir:

Your communications concerning internal questions in Sweden are appreciated, and we hope that the succession to the throne may be settled in a manner satisfactory to the government, and conducive to the welfare of the enlightened people whom it so deeply concerns.
We have already forgotten the reverse of our arms at Bull Run, which affected you so deeply, and the prospect of the restoration of the authority of the Union is entirely satisfactory. Our volunteer army will, I have no doubt, vindicate its character and win back the confidence of the country and its friends.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Jacob S. Haldeman, Esq., &c., &c., &c., Stockholm.
