Wm. L. Dayton to William H. Seward, September 12, 1862
Mr. Dayton to Mr. Seward.
No. 193.]
Paris, September 12, 1862.
Sir: Agreeably to your directions in despatch No. 201, I informed Mr. Thouvenel to-day of the circumstances under which the Mexican government had negotiated certain drafts upon the United States, based on treaties negotiated by Mr. Corwin and not ratified by our government, and which drafts were therefore unpaid.
Mr. Thouvenel, it would seem, had not seen the subject referred to in the public journals. He expressed his appreciation of the attention and friendship of the United States in the action of the government and in making the communication above referred to.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM L. DAYTON.
His Excellency William H. Seward, Secretary of State, &c., &c., &c.,
