Why may not this young man have Venice, which is only $750--- or Nice, which has Fees only? Senator Pomeroy is very anxious for it.

Aug. 13. 1861. A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] AES, DNA FS RG 59, Appointments, Box 242. Lincoln's endorsement is written on the back of the application and list of recommendations of Antonio Buchignani for the consulship at Venice or Nice, August--- 1861. No appointment for Buchignani is listed in the U.S. Official Register, 1861, but in 1863 he is listed as messenger in the House of Representatives.
