Telegram To Sailors' Fair, Boston, Massachusetts. Washington, D. C., November 8, 1864. TO THE MANAGING COMMITTEE OF THE SAILORS' FAIR, Boston, Massachusetts Allow me to wish you a great success. With the old fame of the Navy made brighter in the present war you cannot fail. I name none lest I wrong others by omission. To all, from rear-admiral to honest Jack, I tender the nation's admiration and gratitude. A. LINCOLN.
