To William H. Seward1

Hon. Sec. of State--- Executive Mansion
My dear Sir August 6. 1861

Theodore D. Edwards, on good recommendations was appointed Attorney for Colorado Territory, and declines it.

He is a Kentuckian, and declines the office; and asks to be Consul to Demarara.

I do not find an applicant for it on our list; and I do not object to his having it. Yours truly A. LINCOLN.
