Hon. Sec. of War Executive Mansion,
My dear Sir--- Washington, May 9. 1863.
I wish you would make out the appointment of Lilley at once. He has my word in writing, and I can not afford to break it. I appreciate your opposition to him; but you can better afford to let him be appointed, than I can afford to break my word with him. Yours as ever A. LINCOLN
