Description
Dated 2 April 1861, a report from Mr. Murphy went to Secretary of State William H. Seward. The printed record keeps it as Document 232 in the President's message volume for 1861. It belongs to the month the Civil War began, when keeping Europe out of the war was a core task for Washington.
The text is the view from the post abroad: local mood, official talk, and the envoy's own judgment. For students of the war, the value lies in the sequence: one dated step in a long exchange. The State Department's Office of the Historian keeps the series, called Foreign Relations of the United States.
