Washington, November 11, 1861.
Sir: Your despatch of October 16 (No. 23) has been received. It contains the reply of Mr. de Zuylen to the note you had addressed to him on the subject of the “Sumter” at Paramaribo.
In another paper I have already communicated the President’s views of the disposition of that subject made by the government of the Netherlands, so that nothing remains to be said on the subject which you have had occasion to discuss in the despatch now before me.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
