Major General Fremont Executive Mansion
My dear Sir. Washington, D.C. March 22. 1862.

This will introduce my friend, Col. Thomas W. Sweeney, of Philadelphia, who has already done some service with volunteers, and is a gentleman of great intelligence and good principles. He would be glad to serve on your staff; but I do not know whether that is possible. Yours truly A. LINCOLN
