Letter

William L. Dayton to William H. Seward, September 10, 1861

Mr. Dayton to Mr. Seward.

Sir: * * * * * * * *

I herewith enclose to you a copy and translation of a communication recently received by me from Mr. Thouvenel on the subject of the execution of the convention as to maritime rights. It contains nothing that I have not referred to before, but it is evident he wanted to put the specific grounds of exception to an unconditional exception of the treaty on record.

* * * * * * * * *

With much respect, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM L. DAYTON.

His Excellency William H. Seward, Secretary of State, &c., &c., &c.
