Wilmot, David, 1814-1868
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Henry T. Kerr
Senator Wilmot discusses his recent failed attempts to call on President Lincoln and William H. Seward, Secretary of State. Notes that Seward had been dining with the French Minister when he called.

Notes that the Consulship to Marseilles, France has been filled, suggesting that Kerr will be disappointed, since he hoped to apply for the position.
