From Abraham Lincoln to William H. Seward, June 29, 1861
[Marginal note: Copy from F. W. S.]
Executive Mansion - June 29. 1861.
My dear Sir,
Please send a Commission for Theodore Canissius, of Ills as Consul to Vienna. The place is but $1000, and not much sought; and I must relieve myself of the Dr. Illinoisian, tho', he be.
Yours truly - A. Lincoln.

D'Abraham Lincoln à William H. Seward, 29 juin 1861
[Note marginale : Copie d'après F. W. S.]
Résidence exécutive.
29 juin 1861.
Mon cher Monsieur,
Veuillez envoyer une commission nommant Theodore Canissius, de l'Illinois, consul à Vienne. Le poste ne rapporte que 1 000 dollars et n'est guère recherché ; et je dois me débarrasser du docteur de l'Illinois, bien qu'il soit ce qu'il est.
Bien sincèrement à vous,
A. Lincoln.
