Washington, June 22, 1861.
Sir: I send you an extract of a letter from Mr. Sanford, our minister at Belgium.
You will perceive, at once, how important it is that the Spanish government shall prevent the fitting out or departure of privateers from its friendly ports. We do not doubt your activity. You will need to see that our consuls in Spain are watchful and active.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Carl Schurz, Esq., &c., &c., &c., Madrid.
