Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs, Accompanying the Annual Message of the President to the Second Session Thirty-eighth Congress, Part IV

Mr. Seward to Mr. Sanford.

Department of State, Washington, July 16, 1864.

My Dear Sir: I thank you for your note of the 27th of June. I think M. Thiers is right. Our enemies in Europe want us divided, and thus destroyed. They will not by intervention drive us into closer union and increased vigor.

I am, my dear sir, your obedient servant,

WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

Henry S. Sanford, Esq., &c., &c., &c., Brussels.
