Mr. Seward to Mr. Fox

Sir: I have received your communication of the 17th instant, and its accompaniments-, which M. Pogodin, requested you to present to some national institute or museum in this city. I have placed them among the archives of the department, and I beg that you will accept my thanks for your kindness in allowing me the privilege of disposing of these interesting autographs.

I am, sir, your obedient servant.

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

G. V. Fox, Esq, Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
