No. 369.]

Department of State, Washington, October 13, 1862.

Sir: Your despatch of the 25th of September (No. 225) has been received and submitted to the President. While its statements are very interesting, and its suggestions seem to be wise and judicious, a special reply on my part has been rendered unnecessary by my anticipation of the subject discussed in your despatches.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
