Letter

Robert C. Wood to William H. Seward, April 20, 1864

[Extract.]

Mr. Wood to Mr. Seward.

No. 158.]

Sir: From the note of Mr. Vedel, assistant minister of state, and on the part of the minister, and from my reply, the Secretary of State will see with what respect the suggestion in relation to the Bremen and Hamburg steamers has been received.

The fight at Dübbel was a severe one; some 1,200 wounded have already arrived. The Danes lost heavily; the Prussians still more so.

I have the honor to remain your obedient servant,

BRADFORD R. WOOD, Minister Resident.

Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State.
