William H. Seward to L. de Geofroy, November 21, 1864

Mr. Seward to Mr. Geofroy

Sir: Referring to your note of the 31st ultimo, relative to the embarcation of such French subjects as may desire to leave the insurrectionary States, I have the honor to enclose, in reply, a copy of a letter of the 14th instant from the War Department, together with that of a communication from Lieutenant General Grant, to whose consideration the matter was submitted. Accept, sir, a renewed assurance of my high consideration.
