To John Murray1Jump to section

Hon: John Murray Springfield, Ills.
Dear Sir Feb: 25. 1850

Ninian2Jump to section handed me your letter, in consequence of which I have written the accompanying letter, which as you see, Ninian & Stuart3Jump to section have also signed. I addressed it to the President,4Jump to section because you can then send it to whom you please to present to him; and because Baker & Butterfield5Jump to section I believe are not very cordial with one another. Either alone would do better. Yours as ever A LINCOLN
