Letter from John H. Barnes to Origen S. Seymour
John Hampton Barnes reports to Origen S. Seymour that he has spoken with Archibald Loudon Snowden, former United States Minister to Spain, regarding Snowden’s request to transfer Francis N. MacNutt, his secretary of legation, in 1893. It was alleged McNutt was transferred because he divulged secrets to priests. Snowden stated that he merely could not rely on MacNutt’s loyalty during negotiations and had no knowledge of MacNutt divulging secrets.
