My dear Sir. Washington, May 9. 1863.
This introduces Gov. Wright, of Indiana, whose name, if not his person, you certainly know. He is trying to raise a little money, not for himself, but to carry some articles to the World's Fair at Hamburg. I shall be glad if, by your acquaintance with the rich men, you can render him some assistance. Yours truly
A. LINCOLN
