Annotation

[1] Thirty-seventh Congress, Second Session, Senate Executive Document No. 50. Cameron wrote Lincoln from St. Petersburg, June 26, 1862, ``I must begin this my first letter from Russia, by thanking you for your Message to Congress, in relation to the N. York agencies. It was a good act, bravely done. Right, in itself, as it was, very many men, in your situation, would have permitted an innocent man to suffer rather than incur responsibility. I am glad to see that the leading papers of Europe speak of it, in high terms, as an act of `nobleness'. . . .'' (DLC-RTL).
