Mr. Seward to Mr. Mercier.
Department of State, Washington, June 24, 1863.
Sir: I do myself the honor to enclose the original of a report, bearing date the 8th instant, from General G. F. Shepley, military governor of Louisiana, upon the case of François Bougeré, a Frenchman, which case has heretofore been a subject of correspondence between this department and the legation of France. After you shall have examined the report adverted to, I will thank you to return it, with any observations in regard to it which may have occurred to you.
I avail myself of the occasion, sir, to offer to you a renewed assurance of my very high consideration.
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Mr. Henry Mercier, &c., &c., &c.
