particularly Indicated. and especial attention
called to the letter of the latter. Mr.. Lincoln
looked over tne several letters, dwelling some
what on that of Mr.. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served that the sMixture'' appeared to be hIg hy
recommended, and by men who d % not DO such
things on slight grounds; and, after pleasant
remark IN his peculiar vein, added, that it would
not be proper for HIM to make positive order or
the Medical Bureau, but that he would 60 as tar
as he thought II was proper for him to 60. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back of
them, and signed the recomm endaton, copy of
