Boston 26th Oct. '61
My dear Secretary,
The papers announce
the probable return of
C. M. Clay
Birth: 1810-10-10 Death: 1903-07-23
. If this
be so, let me recom-
mend for the vacancy
John Jay
Birth: 1817-06-23 Death: 1894-05-05

you know his fitness

profound interest in having
my country well repre-
sented abroad.
Faithfully yours,
Charles Sumner
