Hon. Charles Sumner Executive Mansion,
My dear Sir Washington, March 11. 1863

I still have no name for Solicitor to go to Peru. Have you? Yours truly A. LINCOLN.

Annotation

[1] ALS-F, ISLA. An act approved March 3, 1863, to carry into effect the Convention with Peru signed at Lima on January 12, 1863, authorized the appointment of a solicitor ``learned in the Spanish language.'' No reply from Sumner has been found. The U.S. Official Register, 1863, lists Henry R. La Reintrie of Maryland as solicitor to Peru.
