Description
On 26 May 1862, Secretary of State William H. Seward wrote to Charles Francis Adams, the American minister in London. It stands as Document 71 in Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs, the volume sent to Congress with the President's yearly message. It was written in the spring of 1862, a year into the war, while the North worked to block foreign aid to the South.
Seward's letters in this run set out Washington's line for the man on the spot to follow. Letters of this kind are the raw record from which the story of wartime diplomacy is built. Foreign Relations of the United States, the official record series, is where the full exchange can be traced.
