Lafayette
Place.
Dear Sir: With the greatest regret I learnt through the newspapers the serious accident which happened to your respected father, the Secretary of State. I beg you to feel assured, and to assure for me Mr. Seward, that I take a very sincere part in the general sorrow which it has created, and that I most earnestly hope for his prompt recovery. The news of it would cause me the greatest joy.
Please accept, sir, the renewed assurance of my high consideration.
ROEST VAN LIMBURG.
Hon. F. W. Seward, Assistant Secretary of State.
