Sir: I have received your despatch of the 29th ultimo, No. 1059, accompanied by copies of the London Times of the 26th, 27th, and 29th of September.

That of the 26th contains an article which betrays the uneasiness that is felt regarding the continued depredations of the Shenandoah, and the other two relate more particularly to the President and his policy. You will be pleased to accept my thanks for your obliging attention in sending these papers.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
