Description
Two Dayton reports are dated 3 September 1862, and the first stands as Document 321 in the 1862 Foreign Relations volume. Both went from William L. Dayton in Paris to Secretary of State William H. Seward.
Dayton wrote three days after Bull Run, before the defeat's full weight had reached Paris. The French government was then drafting its proposal for a joint truce, the fall's central danger. Reports from these days show the envoy gathering the court's mood while the ground shifted under his information, a fair picture of his craft. Paris and London consulted each other often before either acted on the American war.
