The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. V (Chap. 4.89) lyrics
by Abraham Lincoln
To The Secretary Of War
Executive Mansion, June 13, 1861 Hon. Secretary Of War
MY DEAR SIR—I think it is entirely safe to accept a fifth regiment from Michigan, and with your approbation I should say a regiment presented by Col. T. B. W. Stockton, ready for service within two weeks from now, will be received. Look at Colonel Stockton's testimonials.
Yours truly,
A. LINCOLN.
