Dear Sir
Yours of the 13th announcing the receipt /
of one of my letters is just received- Before this I expect /
you have received another, telling you all, but lest it may have /
miscarried, I will tell you again- I duly received the *paper /
recommending our good friend, Fellows, and forwarded it to /
the proper (State) Department at Washington, accompanied /
by a letter of my own, informing the Secretary who, and /
what the signers, are, and giving both Major Fellows and /
them as good an indorsement [sic] as I was able- This I most /
cheerfully did, and was all I knew how to do-
Your friend, as ever
A..Lincoln
