Mr. Seward to Mr. Kilpatrick.
Sir: I have received your dispatch of the 30th of June, No. 120, which is accompanied by a copy of a note which was addressed to you on the 16th of that month by Mr. Fontecilla, concerning the proposal of the United States to mediate between the republics of the Pacific and Spain. I have taken care to communicate the substance of Mr. Fontecilla’s note to the Spanish government for its consideration. Should any reply be received from that government I shall hasten to transmit it for the information of the government of Chili.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
Judson Kilpatrick, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
