Mr. McCook to Mr. Seward.
No. 4.]
United States Legation,
Honolulu,
August 1, 1866.
Sir: I have the honor to inform you that some time during the next two months Queen Emma, the widow of the late King Kamehameha IV, will pass through the United States on her way here.
Should she receive the same attention from Americans that she received while in England, I feel confident it would exert a favorable influence on the mind of the present King.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
EDWARD M. McCOOK.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
