Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs, Accompanying the Annual Message of the President to the Second Session Thirty-eighth Congress, Part II

Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.

No. 997.]

Department of State, Washington, June 20, 1864.

Sir: Your despatch of June 2, No. 708, has been received. It throws all the light you can gather with your prevision upon the Germania-Danico conference, and upon the ministerial situation in England, and I thank you for it, although the condition of those questions is, as you confess, confused and un satisfactory, altogether too much so to enable us at this distance to conjecture the solution of either.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWAED.

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