William H. Seward to William L. Dayton, May 12, 1862
Mr. Seward to Mr. Dayton.
No. 158.]
Department of State. Washington, May 12, 1862.
Sir: It will be proper for you to inform Mr. Thouvenel that I have communicated the substance of his explanations given to you on the subject of Mexican complications to Mr. Romero, excluding, however, all that part of the explanations which was stated to you by Mr. Thouvenel to be confidential. A copy of my communication to Mr. Romero is annexed.
The frankness and distinctness which we have maintained throughout with all parties on this grave subject have seemed to require this proceeding.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
William L. Dayton, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
