Mr. Seward to Mr. Dayton.
No. 225.]
Department of State, Washington, September 24, 1862.
Sir: Your despatch of September 9 (No. 191) has been received. The President is gratified with the attention you have given to the instructions contained in my circular of the 8th ultimo, in relation to an increase of immigration. Your valuable suggestions of the desirableness of effecting a reduction of the fares for passage on board of emigrant ships have been submitted to the several chambers of commerce on the seaboard, and I hope that, through their exertions, the measure proposed may be promptly effected.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Wm. L. Dayton, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
