Letter
Wm. H. Seward to William L. Dayton, September 19, 1862
Mr. Seward to Mr. Dayton.
No. 220.]
Department of State, Washington, September 19, 1862.
Sir: I have received your interesting despatch of September 3, (No. 189.) A republican education has, indeed, made all of us politicians; but it must now be confessed that the same education has also made us soldiers, as cheerful to fight the battles of our country as we are bold to discuss its affairs. I think no nation has ever exhibited such voluntary armies.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
William L. Dayton, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
