Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs, Accompanying the Annual Message of the President to the Second Session of the Fortieth Congress, Part II

[Telegram.]

Mr. Campbell to Mr. Seward

New Orleans, June 15, 1867.

Since the receipt of your despatch of 11th I have been confined to my room by severe bilious attack. My physician says I cannot now go without hazarding my life, especially via Havana and Vera Cruz, where yellow fever prevails. If government considers it important to send minister immediately, I will tender my resignation, if desired.

LEWIS D. CAMPBELL.

Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
