Sec. of State please see these gentlemen, representative of the shipping interests. A. LINCOLN
Feb. 5, 1863
Annotation
[1] Copy, ISLA. A note from Senator Sumner, February 4, 1863, requests Lincoln to receive three men named Frazer, [Samuel?] Hall, and Eldredge, ``a committee from Boston of gentlemen interested in the Navy & familiar with ships & the sea. They have important suggestions to offer. . . .'' (DLC-RTL). The men have not been identified, but it seems possible that they were the gentlemen whom Lincoln sent to Secretary Seward.
