The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov
Pollock, and Geo. H. Stuart, (e1tensively known
asPresIdeat of the Christian Commssion,) were
particularly indicated. and especial attention
called to the letter of the latter. Mr.. Lincoln
looked over the several letters, dwelling some
what that of MIR. Stuart's, and at length Ob-
served, that the t.MiIture'' appeared to be highly
recommended, and by men who do not 90 such
things slight grounds; and, after Pleasant
- h,s aStaa 14H Hod hat nj
not be proper for him TO make positive order on
