Hon. Sec. of War Executive Mansion,
Sir--- Washington, Aug. 4. 1862.

Please see these Texas gentlemen, and talk with them. They think if we could send 2500 or 3000 arms, in a vessel, to the vicinity of the Rio. Grande, that they can find the men there who will re-inaugerate the National Authority on the Rio Grande first, and probably on the Nuesces also. Perhaps Gen. Halleck's opinion should should [sic] be asked. Yours truly A. LINCOLN
