Letter
Lewis D. Campbell to William H. Seward, January 2, 1867
[Extract.]
Mr. Campbell to Mr. Seward
No. 9.]
New Orleans, January 2, 1867.
Sir: * * * * * * *
As it is by no means my desire to remain in this city, and may be neither pleasant to me personally, nor profitable to the government, that I should again wander by sea and by land on the inhospitable border of Mexico just now, permit me to express my regret that I have not been authorized by the department to return, at least temporarily, to my home.
I have the honor to remain, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant,
LEWIS D. CAMPBELL.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
