[1] AE, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's incomplete endorsement appears at bottom of Scott to Caleb B. Smith, May 27, 1861, following Smith's endorsement concurring in Scott's recommendation, May 29. Scott's letter introduces the bearer Bion F. Kendall, a native of Maine resident in Washington Territory, who had `` . . . executed a confidential mission for me of great danger & importance; taking him thro' nearly all the seceded states. . . . '' and who wished to be superintendent of Indian affairs in Washington Territory. Kendall was appointed to the office, July 16, 1861.
