To General Van Allen. Executive Mansion, Washington, April 14, 1865 GENERAL VAN ALLEN: I intend to adopt the advice of my friends and use due precaution.... I thank you for the a**urance you give me that I shall be supported by conservative men like yourself, in the efforts I may make to restore the Union, so as to make it, to use your language, a Union of hearts and hands as well as of States. Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.
