Letter
William H. Seward to Right Hon. Lord Lyons, December 4, 1864
Mr. Seward to Lord Lyons.
Department of State, Washington, Sunday morning, December 4, 1864.
My Dear Lord Lyons: I agree with you that it is best that you go away for a time—I hope not a long one. And yet I feel that my cares and difficulties will be seriously increased by your withdrawal.
I shall be happy to see you to-morrow at twelve o’clock, and I will then attend you to the Executive mansion, where the President will receive you, I am sure, with sincere kindness and sympathy.
Very truly your friend,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Right Hon. Lord Lyons, &c., &c., &c.
