To Edwin D. Morgan1Jump to section
New-York May 20 1863
I presume the Commission of Hiatt has already gone forward, as the Sec. of the Treasury told me day-before yesterday he would send it forward. I wish the first time it is convenient you would call on me, as I feel sure I can give you some views in regard to this case which you do not think of A. LINCOLN
Annotation
[1] ALS, RPB. Senator-elect Morgan had telegraphed at 10 P.M. on May 19, ``I hope you will not think it is asking too much to withhold the commission for Abrahm Hiatt until the friends of Depew can be heard.'' (DLC-RTL). Chauncey M. Depew, living at Peekskill, had actively supported Morgan for the Senate, but Abrahm Hyatt of Sing Sing, is listed in the U.S. Official Register, 1863, as assessor for the Tenth District in New York.
