Conflicting Authorities Over Treaties With the States
A fragmentary 1861 communication reveals that Clay and Holcombe acted without authority from the President or Congress to treat with states on any subject. It notes Lincoln's private assurances via his secretary Hay and suggests Mr Lincoln’s views align with a paper addressed to “them I may concern.” The letter is signed by P. Benjamin as secretary of state and James M Mason as commissioner to the Continent.
