Letter from Horace Greeley (New York; with envelope) to Joseph Medill, 1869-02-19
Scope and Contents
"It was never probable that I should 'go into the cabinet.' I know no person of influence who urged it. I have been talked of for Minister to England, but the suggestion did not originate with my friends, and I hever heard that Gen. Grant gave it the least countenance. ... But when I said you should move here, I did not mean that you should do so off-hand. I meant that before you take any decided steps you shoujld look the ground all over, and see what could be done here, as well as in Chicago."
