Letter

William L. Dayton to William H. Seward, February 26, 1863

Mr. Dayton to Mr. Seward

No. 279.]

Sir: I herewith enclose to you a printed copy of a brief address recently issued at Paris by the Protestant clergymen of France, directed to the pastors and ministers of all evangelical denominations in Great Britain. The character and scope of this address will be best understood by reading it. I am informed it will be largely signed in France.

I need not say that I have had nothing to do with getting this matter up. It is a voluntary appeal by the Protestant clergy of France to their brethren.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WM. L. DAYTON.

His Excellency William H. Seward, Secretary of State.
