Annotation

[1] ALS copy or draft, DLC-RTL. The date of this letter must have been on or after June 11, for Lincoln refers to the letter from Representative John F. Potter, June 11, 1861, maintaining that Anson Dart of Wisconsin, former superintendent of Indian affairs in Oregon (1850-1853) `` . . . is in every way unfit for that or any other position. . . . And if his appointment shall be made, I will go before the Senate and there protest. . . . '' (DLC-RTL). See Lincoln to Winfield Scott, [May 29], supra, and note concerning the appointment of Bion F. Kendall.
