Description
On 29 October 1862 Roest van Limburg sent this note to Secretary of State William H. Seward, the last Dutch ministerial note in the year's printed file. It is Document 552 in the 1862 volume of Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs.
The late-October note closes a Washington exchange that began in June with a burst of daily letters and settled into a steady rhythm. Through it, the Netherlands kept its rights on the record and the United States kept a useful friend correctly informed. Paired with Pike's reports from The Hague, the Van Limburg file gives the full circuit of Dutch-American dealing in 1862. It ends quietly, which for both governments was the desired result.
