him of the manner in which had become
quainted with it, recounting the tests to which i
had been subjected, and pointing out the names
of those who recommended 1t, several of them,
men of the highest character, and of national
reputation and, suggested, that if, by his di-
rection, 1T could be put on the supply list of me
dicines for the army, 1t might be found eItremel
useful IN contributing to the health OF the troop
operating in HlasmatIc districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov
Pollock, and Geo. II. Stuart, (extensively known
as President of the Christian Commission,) were
particularly Indicated, and especial attention
called to the letter of the latter. Mr.. Lincoln
looked over tGe several letters, dwelling some
what on that of Mr.. Stuart's, and at length obs
served, that the 'MiIture' appeared to be hIg hly
recommended, and by men who do not do such
things slight grounds; and, after pleasant
,ttarv ado hat won Il
not be proper tor him to make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would 60 as tar
as he thought 1t was proper Tor him to go. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
them, and signed the recomm ne nd alton, copy OF
which herew send you. The Original will
keep, and present it to the Surgeon General.

the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH j. LEWIS.
