[Non-Sequitur]

There is no mention of this whatsoever in the Journal of the (c)onfederate (c)ongress. What prompted this letter and who did Mr. Benjamin send it to?

It should be noted that the confederate senate did not ratify a single treaty with a single foreign power.

Maybe not in the Journal of the (c)onfederate (c)ongress, but the letter appears in the Journal of the Confederate Congress. (Letter from Benjamin).
