Washington
12th Aug. ‘61
My dear Sir,
From all that I hear Mr. Lippitt of California deserves at least a majorite, & I was glad that the Secretary last evening joined so com- [p. 2] pletely in our desires. It only remains, I think, that you should propose him.
Of course my recommendation is of little consequence; but I make it, sincerely believing that the ap- [p. 3] pointment will be well-bestowed, & most cordially trusting that it will meet with no impediment.
Believe me, my dear sir,
With much regard,
Very faithfully yours,
Charles Sumner

[endorsed:] Washn. Aug. 12, 1861. / Hon. Chas Sumner. / Rec. Mr. Lippitt of Cal. for a majority.
[red ink:] To the Sec. of War, I heartily unite in this recommendation. Winfield Scott.
