Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 23d of June, No. 725, in which you have informed me of the close of the European conference and of the uncertain aspect which political affairs in the United Kingdom assumed in consequence of that event. While I thank you for this interesting information, I think it proper to refrain from comment on the subject, in the expectation that the next steamer will bring definitive information of the policy which her Majesty’s government before this time must have adopted in regard to the war between Germany and Denmark.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
