Description
Horace Perry wrote to Secretary of State William H. Seward on 19 June 1861. The dispatch is document 166 in the Foreign Relations volume for 1861.
Two Perry reports in one week mark a busy stretch at the Madrid legation. Spain's court was weighing its stance as the war hardened. His letters fed Washington the small facts by which such weighing could be judged from afar. Spain's queen, Isabella, ruled a court where access turned on form and favor. Form and favor decided much in Madrid, and Perry learned their rules fast. Fast learning served him well in Madrid.
