Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs, Accompanying the Annual Message of the President to the Third Session Thirty-seventh Congress

[Extract]

Mr. Haldeman to Mr. Seward.

Legation of the United States, Stockholm, January 10, 1862.

Sir: I have the honor to inform you that we have received by telegram intelligence of the peaceable settlement of our difficulty with England. The news has been received with great satisfaction. I have been congratulated by several legations. The press of Sweden is free; the American side of the question was taken by one of the most influential papers, and discussed with great vigor and ability.

I remain your obedient servant,

J. S. HALDEMAN.

Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington.
