of those who recommended II, several OF them,
men OF the hig hest character, and OF national
reputation and, suggested, that if, by >his di-
rection, it could be put on the supply list of me
dIclnes Tor the army, 1t mig hit be found extremei
useful in contributing TO the health of the troop

| 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 tne several letters, dwelling some
what that of MIR. Stuarts, and at length OBJ
served, that the ''Mirture'' 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 would
not be proper tor him to make positive order on
I thoN al hut ii f..

to advertising your 'FMirture,'' and to hesi-
tate to make known its merits to the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH J. LEWIS.
