Mr. Seward to Mr. Marsh.
No. 58.]
Department of State, Washington,
November 10, 1862.
Sir: Your despatch of the 20th of October (No. 53) has been submitted to the President, and he authorizes me to communicate to you his thanks for the clear exposition it gives of Italian politics in the present interesting crisis.
It is easy to see that European interests and passions are beginning to engage some of that attention which during the last year European statesmen have so unprofitably for both continents bestowed upon the unhappy affairs of the American people.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
George P. Marsh, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
