Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Retrospections of an Active Life, Vol. 2 My dear Mr. Seward: I have a favor to ask of you. I wish to be relieved from my consular functions. In making such a request at this time I hope it is unnecessary for me to assure you that I have no disposition to shrink from any duty or service by which our country can profit, at no matter what personal sacrifice. But I have become convinced that my official position rather diminishes than increases my means of usefulness for any except the mere routine duties of the office, and for those, hundreds may be found more competent than myself. It seems to me that our relations with Europe have passed into such a phase as no longer to require the kind of service which you hoped to find me capable of rendering; but if it were otherwise I am persuaded that I could make myself more useful here in a private station than in my present position.
