To Gideon Welles1Jump to section

Hon. Sec. of Navy Executive Mansion,
My dear Sir. Washington, Feb. 5, 1862.

Hon. Mr. Veree, of Penn. makes such representation, as to the Naval Agent, at Philadelphia, and a sort of factotum of his,---one Derringer---as makes me think your Department better look to it. Yours truly A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] ALS-P, ISLA. There is no reply from Welles in the Lincoln Papers. James S. Chambers was naval agent at Philadelphia, but we have been unable to identify ``one Derringer'' about whom Representative John P. Verree registered his complaint.
