Dear Sfr-In an interview with President Lin
celn to day, l introduced the subject OF your
oPasc hall's Fever and Ague Mixture, - informing
him of the manner in which had become ac-
quainted with it, recountng the tests to which IL
had been subjected, and pointing out the names
of those who recommended 1t, several oil them,
men of the highest character, and OF national
repstation 4; and, suggested, that if, by his d-
rection, it could be put on the supply list OF me
dicines for the army, it might be found extremely
useful in contributing TO the he alth OF the troops
operating in miasmatic districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov.
Pollock, and Geo. IL. Stuart, (extensively known
as President of the Christian Commlsslon,) were
particularly indicated, and especial attention
called to the letter of the latter. Mr. Lincoln
looked over the several letters, dwelling some
what on that of MIR. Stuarts, and at length obs
served, that the ssMiIture' appeared to be highly
recommended, and by men who do not DO such
things on slight grounds; and, after a pleasant
remark in his peculiar vein, added, that IT would
not be proper for him to make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would 60 as lar
as he thought it was proper Tor him to go. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
them and signed the recomm endation, copy OF
which here with send you. The original 1 will
keep, and present it to the Surgeon General.
suggest that you dismiss your dlfhdence, a.
to advertising your ssMiIture' and cease to hesi.
tate make known its merits to the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH j. LEWIS
Commentator of President Lincoln.
ssSubuaitted to the Surgeon General asking his
attention, and that the Medicine may be tried, if
an has judgment it promises good.
March 18th, 1868. A. LINCOLN.
Your attention is invited to the full reports of

My Dear Str-I am thus far on my way to the
troops in Texas, in behalf of the Christian Com
mission and that am well enough thus to be,
/ owe largely, if not chiefly, to the directions of
your kind letter, and the curative power OIL Pas
chail's Fever and Ague Mzture.'
Be pleased to accept my thank for your kind
interea. l intended to write you from home, in
New Hampshire, but you will accept this rather
tardy acknowledgment. Ever and truly yours,
