Abraham Lincoln, Memorandum, March 27, 1861
On the 27th of March 1861 Hon Mr. Blair of Pa. calls and presses that Thomas P. Campbell Esq., of his District shall be Consul to Glasgow, or have some other eligible appointment - Mr Blair says his District does a large share of the voting, and never receives any thing - Therefore he is very anxious in this matter.
[Endorsed on verso by Lincoln:]
Consul to Glasgow / Hon. Mr. Blair, / for T. P. Campbell.

Abraham Lincoln, Mémorandum, 27 mars 1861
Le 27 mars 1861, l'honorable M. Blair de Pennsylvanie se présente et insiste pour que Thomas P. Campbell, écuyer, de sa circonscription, soit nommé consul à Glasgow ou reçoive quelque autre poste avantageux - M. Blair dit que sa circonscription fournit une grande part des suffrages et ne reçoit jamais rien - Il est donc très pressant dans cette affaire.
[Endossé au verso par Lincoln :]
Consul à Glasgow / L'hon. M. Blair, / pour T. P. Campbell.
