Description
From his post abroad, Charles Francis Adams wrote to William H. Seward on 29 November 1861. It stands as Document 3 in Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs, the volume sent to Congress with the President's yearly message. The date falls in the autumn of the war's first year, when the Union fought to keep foreign powers from backing the South.
Inbound reports like this one told Washington what its man abroad saw, heard, and judged. Its worth grows in context, as one link in a chain of letters that kept the peace with Europe. The Foreign Relations series, kept by the State Department's Office of the Historian, preserves the full run.
