File — Box: 1A, Folder: B66
Scope and Contents
Colfax is at a pause during an extended speaking tour. "As to P[ost] M[aster] General it was talked of by a very large maj[ority] of congressmen last session as being their wish. ... But I have never met Lincoln personally and don't know his feelings, except that he said before his nomination he would never forget Gov. Chase and myself, the only two men who came into Ill. from their own states to help him in that eventful October."
