Washington, October 10, 1861.
Sir: Some unaccounted for obstruction of the mails has caused a delay in the receipt of your despatch of the 7th of September (No. 44) until this time.
As I expected, you very properly anticipated my instructions on the subject of the conditional execution of the treaty proposed by Mr. Thouvenel, and your proceedings in that respect are entirely approved.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
William L. Dayton, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
