Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward
Sir: I ought, by last Saturday’s steamer, to have mentioned to you the fact that I received, last week, a visit from the minister of Greece, M. Armeni Brailow, who brought with him M. Rangabee, the person commissioned as the first diplomatic representative to the United States from the kingdom of Greece. I am informed that he is a highly intelligent, cultivated, and experienced gentleman, who has had much experience in the management of public affairs at home. Hence, I doubt not, you will cheerfully receive him as a valuable acquisition to the diplomatic circle, by which you are surrounded.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
