October 3, 1861

James Mitchell, the writer of one of the within letters, I know, and like. He was, for years, colonization agent, for Indiana; and I suppose, by what he says, being a democrat, he was removed by our friends. He is a Methodist of good standing, and Governor Wright especially wishes him to be cared for. His first care, as you see by his letter, is for his brother-in-law, G. F. Savitz. I will be really obliged, if the Secretary of State can find something for this brother-in-law. Will he please try? A. LINCOLN

Oct. 3. 1861.

Annotation

[1] AES, NAuE. Lincoln's endorsement has been removed from the accompanying letter. No record of an appointment for G. F. Savitz has been found.
