Dear Sfr-In an interview with Preeident Lin
coin to day, l introduced the subject of your
"Paschall's Fever and Ague Mixture, - informing
him of the manner in which had become ac-
quainted with il, recounting the tests to which
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 II, by his d.
rection, it could be put the supply list of me
dicines for the army, 1t might be found extremel
useful in contributing to the health of the troop
operating in miasmatic districts
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov
Pollock, and Geo. III 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 tne several letters, dwelling some
what that of Mr.. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the f.MiIture" appeared to be ghly
recommended, and by men who do not do such
things on slight grounds; and, after pleasant
remark in his peculiar vein, added, that 1t would
not be proper tor him to make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would SO as tar
as he thought 1t was proper Tor him to CO. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the hack OF
them, and signed the recOmm endation, a copy OF
which herewith send you. The Original viii

the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
