Description
Seward's incoming mail for 25 April 1862 held a dispatch from Charles Francis Adams, the American minister in London. The printed record keeps it as Document 52 in the 1862 Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs volume. The letter comes from the spring of 1862, a year into the war, a time when each foreign capital watched the war with care.
The text is the view from the post abroad: local mood, official talk, and the envoy's own judgment. Read in order with its neighbors, it shows diplomacy as daily work rather than grand speeches. The State Department's Office of the Historian keeps the series, called Foreign Relations of the United States.
