Mr. Seward to Mr. Campbell.

No. 35.]

Sir: I have received your despatch of the 1st instant, No. 48, in which you have given a detailed and interesting account of the late visit to Stockholm of the United States squadron, composed of the double turreted monitor Miantonomoh and steamship Augusta, under command of Captain Alexander Murray. Your proceedings on the occasion are entirely approved, and it is very gratifying to know that the officers of the fleet were received with such marked attention and courtesy by his Majesty and the authorities of Sweden.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

James H. Campbell, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
