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.
