HISTORY BUILDERS.
Thurlow Weeds Great Service to His
Country,
Written Expressly for The Washington Herald.
BY DIR. f. j. EDWARDS.


BY DIR. f. j. EDWARDS.
The late Charles Francis Adams. VIII"
died recently. grandson of one Presi-
dent of the United States and great
grandson of another. combined. as
no other member of that distinguished
family did, great literary abilities
with marked business capacity. His
country place was at Concord, Mass.
and il comprised a part of the upland
region which Thoreau so often de-
scribed in his journals and where he.
in company with Emerson and Alcott.
Louisa Alcotts father, and occasion
ally Hawthorne, used to visit and
lounge away a summer afternoon. The
associations of Thoreau with that
considerable tract of land are under
stood to have been very pleasing TO
Mr.. Adams 1t was there that he is
understood to have written some or
his historic addresses and essays.
Mr.. Adams was especially proud of
the career of his father, Charles
Francis Adams. especially that portion
which constitutes the senior Adams
chief claim for permanent fame
namely. his eminent service for the
United States while minister at the
Court of ST. James in the administra-
ton of President Lincoln.
In a communica ton which / re-
ceived three or four years ago from
Mr.. Adams. written while at his Con-
cord home. he asked me il / could
identify the book and the paragraph
in which it had been recorded that
Thurlow Weed had been of the great
est assistance to President Lincoln
while serving as a personal represent
alive of the President in London and
Paris at the end of the year 1861 ana
early in 1862. Mr. Adams intima-
tion was clear that the report was not
accurate and tended perhaps to dim
inish the reputation gained by diff
cult and successful service which his
father had rendered during the four
years of the civil war.
There seems to have been a con-
flict in the testimony which records
the alleged services of Thurlow Weed
and in other testimony OF a private
character which seems to justify the
opinion that MI Adams was greatly
embarrassed and considerably annoyed
by what he thought was Mr.. Weeds
officiousness.
In a conversation which ! had with
Mr.. Frederick W. Seward. some years
ago. / learned that both Mr.. Seward
and his father. William H. Seward,
Secretary of State in Lincoln's admin
istration, were inclined to believe thar
1t was true mat from Mr.. Weed came
the first intimation that Queen Vic
toria and her husband. Prince Albert,
HAD softened the official note which
was to be sent by the English govern
ment to Mr.. Seward in protest Of the
seizure of the Confederate commits
