Gov. Pierpoint Washington City, D.C.
Wheeling, Va. Oct. 16, 1862
Your despatch of to-day received. I am very sorry to have offended you. I appointed the Collector, as I thought, on your written recommendation; and the Assessor also with your testimony of worthiness, although I knew you preferred a different man. I will examine to-morrow whether I am mistaken in this.
A. LINCOLN.
