William H. Seward to James S. Pike, February 28, 1863
Mr. Seward to Mr. Pike.
No. 89.]
Department of State, Washington, February 28, 1863.
Sir: Your despatch of the 4th of February has been received.
Congress is near a constitutional adjournment. Its debates are wholesome, and its measures are vigorous. They seem to the President very judicious; and the public mind, raised to a full comprehension of the crisis, seems to be daily gaining reassurance and inflexibility of purpose to maintain the integrity of the country and its Constitution.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
James S. Pike, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
