quainted with it, reeounting the tests to which

The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov
Pollock, and Geo. III. Stuart, (extensively known
as President of the Christian Commission,l were
particularly indicated, and especial attention
called to the letter of the latter. Mr.. Lincoln
looked over the several letters, dwelling some
what that of Mr. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the sMixture" appeared to be hlg hIy
recommended, and by men who do not do such
things 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 go 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 recomme endation, copy OF
