Department of State, Washington, December 18, 1865.
Sir: I have received and have read with very great interest your despatch of November 18th, No. 46, in which you give an account of recent interviews between yourself and his Holiness and the cardinal secretary of state. The spirit in which the remarks of his Holiness were conceived cannot be too highly commended, and the sentiments of cordiality and good feeling which were expressed both by him and by his Eminence Cardinal Antonelli towards the government and people of the United States are fully and warmly appreciated.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Rufus King, Esq., &c, &c., &c.
