Executive Mansion, Washington,
Hon. Secretary of Treasury: October 26, 1863.

My Dear Sir: The writer of the accompanying letter is one of Mrs. L[incoln]'s numerous cousins. He is a grandson of Millikin's Bend, near Vicksburg---that is, a grandson of the man who gave name to Millikin's Bend. His father was a brother to Mrs. L's mother. I know not a thing about his loyalty beyond what he says. Supposing he is loyal, can any of his requests be granted? and, if any, which of them? Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.
