Cincinnati, March 21st, 1861.S. P. Chase, Esq: –
Dear Sir:- I am advised that Dr
J. M. M c Kenzie
is an applicant for the position of
Consul to Havana; and I trust
you will excuse me in saying a
few words in his behalf.
From his business qualifications,and somewhat extended intercourse
with commercial matters abroad, I am
dearly of the opinion, that his appoint-
ment would prove one eminently fit
to be made. While being a strong and
decided Republican, he has not
been forgetful of other duties; and
^has been^ particularly active in the Religious
movements in and about our city.–
It may be objectionable to send

Dear Sir:- I am advised that Dr
J. M. M c Kenzie
Birth: 1816-03-04 Death: 1891-04-18
,
Esq
of this Country,is an applicant for the position of
Consul to Havana; and I trust
you will excuse me in saying a
few words in his behalf.
From his business qualifications,and somewhat extended intercourse
with commercial matters abroad, I am
dearly of the opinion, that his appoint-
ment would prove one eminently fit
to be made. While being a strong and
decided Republican, he has not
been forgetful of other duties; and
^has been^ particularly active in the Religious
movements in and about our city.–
It may be objectionable to send
such citizens abroad
^when needed here^
but still
justice should the more readily
be meted out to those who are
mindful of their duties to others
as well as themselves.
I earnestly hope Mr. Mc -Kenzie may receive the appoint-
ment. Yours truly &c.Peter Zinn.
