Commissary General. Executive Mansion,
Sir. Washington, January 31, 1863.

Please see the bearer, Edward D. Baker, who is a son of my old friend Col. Baker, who fell at Ball's Bluff. He is now a first Lieut. in the 4th. U.S. Cavalry, and has been serving as Adjutant of the Regiment. He was in the battles of Perryville, and Murfreesboro. He now wishes to be a Commissary with the rank of Captain, and if you can inform me that he can be made such consistently with the rules of the service, I will oblige him. Yours truly

A. LINCOLN
