Selected Correspondance of Abraham Lincoln 1863 To Secretary Seward
by Abraham Lincoln
WASHINGTON, March, 7,1863.
Mr. M. is now with me on the question of the Honolulu Commissioner.
It pains me some that this tilt for the place of Colonel Baker's
friend grows so fierce, now that the Colonel is no longer alive to
defend him. I presume, however, we shall have no rest from it. In
self-defense I am disposed to say, "Make a selection and send it to
me."
