that, near the great Sovereign whose per-
sonal and hereditary friendship for the
Cuited States SO much endears him to
Americans, you will be able to render ser
vices to your country, not less important
than those you could render at home.
Very sincerely, your friend,
A. LINCOLN.
Hon. SIMON CAMERON,
Secretary Of War.
