Auburn, Nov. 10, 1852.
My Dear Sir, — I thank you for your circular. I
cannot congratulate you on your election over the candidate of my own party.
But I may say that it is full of instruction which I think the two parties
needed, and that I look to its effect with confidence, as I do to your action
in the house as full of hope and promise for the cause of Liberty and Humanity.
Faithfully your
friend,
William H. Seward.
