Executive Mansion,
Hon. Sec. of State Washington, March 7, 1862.

My dear Sir: Mr. James F. B. Marshall, of Mass. is now with me on the question of the Honolulu Commissioner. It pains me some that this tilt for the place of Col. Baker's friend grows so fierce, now the Col. is no longer alive to defend him. I presume, however, we shall have no rest from it. Mr. Marshall appears to be a very intelligent gentleman, and well acquainted with the affairs of the Sandwich Islands. The California delegation also expect the place for some one of their citizens. In self-defence I am disposed to say ``Make a selection and send it to me.'' Yours truly

A. LINCOLN.
