William H. Seward to Wm. L. Dayton, November 10, 1862
Mr. Seward to Mr. Dayton.
No. 248.]
Department of State, Washington, November 10, 1862.
Sir: Your despatch of the 21st of October, No. 213, has been submitted to the President. Your observations upon the personal change which has occurred in the French ministry, and the motives and probable fruits of that measure, are very interesting and instructive. Removed so far from the theatre in which France acts her conspicuous part, and yet attached to that country, under all circumstances, by memories of national kindnesses and sympathies, we are content with believing that the Emperor understands the interests of the nation; and hoping that all his measures may redound to its prosperity and advancement, I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Wm. L. Dayton, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
