``I will come to Washington, as soon as I can leave Harrisburg---but it may not be until Saturday next. I hope this short delay will put Mr Clay to no inconvenience.'' (DLC-RTL).

On February 23 Cameron tendered his resignation as minister to Russia, and on the next day Lincoln nominated Cassius M. Clay to replace him.
