Hon. Secretary of War. Executive Mansion, August 22, 1861.

Sir: Victor B. Bell, now of Colorado, is one of my most valued friends; and one of the best, if not the very best clerk I ever knew. I would like for him to be an Asst. Quarter Master or Commissary of Subsistence of Volunteers.

Can you not fix it for me? Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.

August 22, 1861.
