Description
Another report crossed the ocean to Seward, this one from Charles Francis Adams on 17 January 1862. It stands as Document 7 in Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs, the volume sent to Congress with the President's yearly message. The letter comes from the winter of the war's second year, a time when each foreign capital watched the war with care.
Inbound reports like this one told Washington what its man abroad saw, heard, and judged. 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.
