Letter

William H. Seward to James H. Campbell , Esq., & c ., & c ., & c . , Stockholm, November 19, 1864

Mr. Seward to Mr. Campbell.

No. 8]

Sir: It is understood here, with sincere regret, that Baron Wetterstedt has been ordered to Mexico on a mission of some character before coming to this country as the diplomatic agent of Sweden. It is proper that you should without delay inform the minister of foreign affairs that the proceeding referred to is, for obvious reasons, far from satisfactory to this government, and that if it should not prevent the Baron’s official reception here, it would certainly make him less welcome.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

James H. Campbell, Esq., &c., &c., &c., Stockholm.
