Hon. M. S. Wilkinson Executive Mansion,
My dear Sir: Washington, June 20, 1864.
I can not longer delay the Montana appointments; and it is with great regret, on your account, that I have thought fit to send the name of Judge Edgerton2Jump to section for Governor. I could not do otherwise without much greater difficulty to myself, and I beg you to be assured that it is a great pain to me to know that it is disagreeable to you. Do not, for a moment suppose that this note is intended to constrain you to support the nomination. Yours truly
A. LINCOLN
