Description
On 6 July 1861, Secretary of State William H. Seward wrote a second letter to William Dayton. It is document 136 in the Foreign Relations volume for 1861.
Paired letters let Seward sort Paris business point by point. One file might hold law, the next a claim or a name. The second letter of 6 July shows the same neat hand at work in the French file as in the London one. Neat clerk work of this sort kept a vast record clear under wartime strain. A clear record is a gift to every later reader of a crowded year.
