Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VII (Chap. 2.133) lyrics

Telegram And Letter To Horace Greeley. Executive Mansion, Washington, July 12, 1864. HON. HORACE GREELEY, New York: I suppose you received my letter of the 9th. I have just received yours of the 13th, and am disappointed by it. I was not expecting you to send me a letter, but to bring me a man, or men. Mr. Hay goes to you with my answer to yours of the 13th. A. LINCOLN. [Carried by Major John Hay.]
