Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams
No. 2114.]
Department of State, Washington, December 23, 1867.
Sir: Your dispatch of the 6th of December, No. 1489, has been received. I approve of the manner in which you have carried out the [Page 130] instructions in my 2087. At the same time, I observe with regret that Lord Stanley has not found it convenient to indicate any practical way of removing the difficulties thus brought to his notice.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Charles Francis Adams, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
