Hon. Sec. of War Executive Mansion,
Dear Sir Washington, Feb. 27, 1865.

More than a year ago, as I remember, one Hall at Indianapolis was convicted of something in connection with a horse-contract, but Mr. Holt held the conviction to be illegal, and yet you thought the service would suffer by at once announcing the conviction null, and so it has been held along. Senator Hendricks,2Open page knowing of Mr. Holt's decision, has frequently been pressing me, until about three months ago I promised, almost, to discharge the case, about this time. Can we not now do it, without detriment to the service? Yours truly A. LINCOLN
