Hon. Sec. of War Executive Mansion,
Dear Sir Washington, April 13, 1863

You remember my calling on you some time ago with the bearer, Mr. Asbury Waddell of Arkansas. I feel warranted to believe him a reliable man. Francis Springer who signs a letter he will show you, is one of my best friends, & than whom there is no more reliable man. Mr. Waddell says he can easily raise a regiment in his state---we need the regiment; and I therefore think you better fix him out with some authority to raise the regiment. Yours truly

A. LINCOLN
