Telegram To W. B. Thomas Executive Mansion, Washington, D.C., October 17, 1863 HON. WILLIAM B. THOMAS, Philadelphia, Pa. I am grateful for your offer of 100,000 men, but as at present advised I do not consider that Washington is in danger, or that there is any emergency requiring 60 or 90 days men. A. LINCOLN.
