To Thomas H. Hicks1Jump to section

My dear Sir Yours of the 8th. is received, and shall have the best attention I can bestow upon it. Yours very truly

A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] ALS, IHi. Governor Hicks' letter of May 8, 1861, asked federal intervention in the seizure of the customs house at Oxford, Maryland, and of canal boats with produce for Georgetown and Maryland (DLC-Nicolay Papers). Apparently there was another letter from Hicks on May 10, which Lincoln endorsed and sent to the Treasury Department. Although the Register of Miscellaneous Letters, Vol. 32, P6 (DNA RG 56), lists the letter from Hicks, May 10, endorsed by Lincoln, the letter is missing from the file.
