Abraham Lincoln — The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VII Chap. 2.74

Telegram To John Williams. War Department, Washington City, April 25, 1864. JOHN WILLIAMS, Springfield, Ill.: Yours of the 15th is just received. Thanks for your kind remembrance. I would accept your offer at once, were it not that I fear there might be some impropriety in it, though I do not see that there would. I will think of it a while. A. LINCOLN.
