Mr. Seward to Mr. Asboth
Sir: Your despatch of the 25th of September, No. 45, has been received.
The reply of Vice-President Paz, of the Argentine Republic, made to the friendly note which you wrote to him, evinces not only a favorable consideration for yourself and for your country, but also a high elevation of personal character.
I thank you for your notes upon the military situation on the La Plata. By collating these notes with Mr. Washburn’s despatches, I am able to form a much clearer judgment than that which is given by the public journals of Buenos Ayres.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
Alexander Asboth, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
