Note B — MEMOIR OF WARD H. LAMON.
Reading edition
Feb. 4, 1861.
Hon. A. Lincoln:
Dear Sir, — It affords me much satisfaction to hear that you have invited our excellent friend W. H. Lamon to accompany you to Washington and hope that there may be no necessity to interfere with his appointment to the consulate at Paris, that will give us all unbounded pleasure.
Very truly your friend, J. P. Usher.
