In this letter to Judge Hoffman, Seward writes of a pending civil case in California involving the consul of the kingdom of Hanover, a man named Otto Frank: "The present is not a fit time to entertain unnecessary and speculative questions of privilege in regard to either diplomatic or consular representatives of foreign Powers." However, he points out that "there can be no fit time for abating the necessary national authority, when its exercise is absolutely necessary." Seward then gives Hoffman advice on how to proceed, based on the pending actions of Otto Frank.
