To Edwin M. Stanton1Jump to section

Hon. Sec. of War. Executive Mansion,
Sir. Washington, March 19, 1863.

Hon. John A. Gurley, Gov. of Arizona, wishes one of the Colorado regiments, to be placed where it can give protection to that Territory; and he also wishes authority to raise one regiment in the territory. I wish you and the General-in-Chief, would consider whether these things, one or both, can not be safely & profitably done? Yours truly A. LINCOLN
