Mr. Haldeman to Mr. Seward.
Legation of the United States,
Stockholm,
January 10, 1862.
Sir: I have the honor to inform you that we have received by telegram intelligence of the peaceable settlement of our difficulty with England. The news has been received with great satisfaction. I have been congratulated by several legations. The press of Sweden is free; the American side of the question was taken by one of the most influential papers, and discussed with great vigor and ability.
I remain your obedient servant,
J. S. HALDEMAN.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington.
