Mr. Seward to Mr. Van Limburg.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 10th instant, in which, after referring to the restoration of eight hundred thousand dollars in coin to Mr. Amedée Conturié, you request me to cause the other articles seized at his house also to be restored to him, and to state, in reply, that the Secretary of War will accordingly be asked to give directions in the proper quarter to that effect.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you, sir, the assurance of my high consideration.
Mr. Roest Van Limburg, &c., &c., &c.
