Letter
William H. Seward to William L. Dayton, July 25, 1863
Mr. Seward to Mr. Dayton
No. 378.]
Department of State, Washington, July 25, 1863.
Sir: I enclose a copy of a despatch from Mr. Burton, United States minister at Bogota, and of the correspondence to which it refers, relative to a supposed design of the French upon the independence of Ecuador. These papers may be considered sufficient to warrant an inquiry of M. Drouyn de l’Huys upon the subject, and a request for such an explanation as the answer to that inquiry may call for.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
William L. Dayton, Esq.
