Hon. John P. Hale Executive Mansion,
Dover N.H. Washington, June 9, 1863.

I believe it was upon your recommendation that B. B. Bunker was appointed Attorney for Nevada Territory. I am pressed to remove him on the ground that he does not attend to the office, nor, in fact, pass much time in the territory. Do you wish to say anything on the subject? A. LINCOLN
