The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VII (Chap. 2.77) lyrics
by Abraham Lincoln
To Governor Murphy.
Washington, D. C., April 27, 1864.
GOVERNOR MURPHY, Little Rock, Arkansas:
I am much gratified to learn that you got out so large a vote, so nearly all the right way, at the late election; and not less so that your State government including the legislature, is organized and in good working order. Whatever I can I will do to protect you; meanwhile you must do your utmost to protect yourselves. Present my greeting to all.
A. LINCOLN.
