Mr. Hunter to Mr. Adams

No. 1497.]

Department of State, Washington, July 31, 1865.

Sir: Your interesting despatch of the 13th instant, No. 1014, relative to the feeling evinced towards the United States during the recent elections which have taken place in England, has been received. Those elections, so far as they indicate sympathy with our national cause and promise progress in liberal ideas, are highly gratifying, and your remarks upon the dependence of those ideas upon the course of events here are judicious, and I trust will be duly appreciated.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

W. HUNTER, Acting Secretary.

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