Description
On 6 November 1862, Secretary of State William H. Seward wrote to Friedrich Hassaurek, the American minister in Ecuador. The letter is document 720 in the Foreign Relations volume for 1862, the last paper in this part of the volume. It answers Hassaurek's dispatch of early October.
Seward's reply closed the Ecuador file for the year in the printed record. His outward letters set the brief for each post; for a far Pacific legation, they also carried the news of home that an envoy needed. This one shows the full span of the State Department's reach in 1862. It ran from the courts of Europe to a lone post high in the Andes.
