Hon. Atty. General Executive Mansion
My dear Sir July 12. 1861.
In your nominations sent me is one for ``Christopher C. Hewett, of Illinois'' for Chief Justice of Washington Territory. My memorandum shows that I appointed the man to the place, but not as of Illinois; and as I do not know the man personally, or by reputation, I think there is some mistake about his being of Illinois.

Please see if my note, directing his appointment designates as ``of Illinois.'' Yours truly A. LINCOLN
