William H. Seward to James S. Pike, July 24, 1863
Mr. Seward to Mr. Pike.
No. 111.]
Department of State, Washington, July 24, 1863.
Sir: I have received your despatch No. 90, of the 25th ultimo, accompanied by a translation of a note of the 10th ultimo from Mr. Van der Maesen de Sombreff, in regard to the validity of rogatory commissions of foreign magistrates or tribunals in the Netherlands. With much satisfaction I learn from that note that the reciprocity in this respect, contemplated by my instructions of the 17th of April last, (No. 97,) and the act of Congress which accompanied it, already practically exists in the Netherlands, and that the proposed decree will favorably affect the matter. A copy of your communication will be sent to the Secretary of the Treasury.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
James S. Pike, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
