The offer came from President Polk after Polk's first Attorney General resigned to became navy secretary. Polk had resigned as Senator because his wife hated life in Wasnington and because he needed to build up law practice and income. He may have been tempted to take the offer but his wife was in worse health than she had been and he was making progress in establishing his law practice and was already United States attorney from Polk's earlier appointment.
