500 $aMr. (John A.?) Bingham proposed that James Miller M'Kim should be "one of the commission," but he refused, insisting that the committee should be "above suspicion of partizanship." Mr. Stanton's choice was for "his friend Bishop [Matthew] Simpson (a good man), Horace Binney aetat 88 and Prof. [Louis] Agassiz!! ...I was sure that Mr. Binney would not accept & feared that Agassiz would." Mr. Sumner chose Dr. [Samuel Gridley] Howe, and thought that Frank Sanborn would be right for secretary. J. Miller M'Kim fixed on Mr. (Richard Albert?) Tilghman. All declined, and Mr. Sumner wrote that "with the declination of Mr. Tilghman the thing had broken down." Mr. [George Luther] Stearns and Mr. [Francis William] Bird came through Philadelphia full of the "bureau" idea, but the J. Miller M'Kim has heard nothing further from them or from Mr. Sumner.
