Abraham Lincoln — The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VII Chap. 2.84

To Mrs. S. B. Mcconkey. Executive Mansion, Washington, May 9, 1864. MRS. SARAH B. McCONKEY, West Chester, Pa.: MADAM:—Our mutual friend, Judge Lewis, tells me you do me the honor to inquire for my personal welfare. I have been very anxious for some days in regard to our armies in the field, but am considerably cheered, just now, by favorable news from them. I am sure you will join me in the hope for their further success; while yourself, and other good mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters, do all you and they can, to relieve and comfort the gallant soldiers who compose them. Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.
