Mr. Fish to General Sickles.

[Telegram.]

Washington, February 14, 1873.

I understand from your telegrams of 12th and 13th that you have recognized the new government. It will be grateful to know that you have regarded the condition and prospects of the republic such as to justify the discretionary power given you in that regard. This Government and people look with sincere and earnest hope for the peaceful and permanent establishment of the new government.

FISH.
