Writes, 'Quite unexpectedly, I have received the appointment of Governor of New Mexico, and the haste does not allow me time to see those whom I wish to see before going into banishment, nor even time to arrange my private affairs. I therefore make application of you to arrange my private affairs which cannot possibly receive attention during my 3 days stay in October.' Title: Letter from William Carr Lane, Washington, to General Winfield Scott, July 15, 1852 . 15 July 1852. Lane, William Carr, 1789-1863
