Springfield, Ills.
Dec. 31, 1860
Hon. Simon Cameron
My dear Sir:
I think fit to notify you now, that by your permission, I
shall, at the proper time, nominate you to the U.S. Senate, for confirmation as
Secretary of the Treasury, or as Secretary of War – which of the two, I have
not yet definitely decided. Please answer at your own earliest convenience.
Your Obt. Servt.
A. LINCOLN—
