Dear Sfr-In an interview with President Lin
coin to day, introduced the subject of your
"Pasc hall's Fever and Ague Mixture, % informing
him of the manner in which l had become ac-
quainted with il, recounting the tests to which i
had been subjected, and pointing out the names
of those who recomme ed II, several Of them,
men of the highest character, and of national
reputation and, suggested, that if, by his di-
rection, it could be put on the supply Inst of me-
dicines for the army, IL might be found extremely
useful in contributing TO the ealth of the troops
operating IN miasmatIc districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov.
Pollock, and Geo. II. Stuart, (eItensively known
as President of the Christian Commission,) 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 Mr.. Stuarts, and at length obs
served, that the .MiIture' appeared to be highly
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 60 as far
as he thought II was proper Tor him to go. Ihsn
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
them, and signed the recomm end alton, copy OF
which here with send you. The original VIII
keep, and present it to the Surgeon General.

the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
