Mr. Seward to Mr. Campbell.
Sir: I have received Mr. Haldeman’s despatch of the 25th of September, No. 58, in which he informs the department that he has had his audience of leave, and was about to return from the legation. The friendly sentiments which his Majesty was pleased to express on that occasion are appreciated by the President.
It is only just to Mr. Haldeman that I should on this occasion place upon the records of the department an acknowledgment that he has in all things performed the duties of his mission with perfect fidelity, and with so much ability that at no time has any national interest confided to him been lost or in any way impaired.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
James H. Campbell, Esq., &c., &c., &c., Stockholm.
