Hon. James Guthrie Washington City,
Louisville, Ky. May 16 1863 [8:35 P.M.]

Your despatch of to-day is received. I personally know nothing of Col. Churchill; but months ago; and more than once, he has been represented to me as exerting a mischievous influence at St. Louis, for which reason I am unwilling to force his continuance there against the judgment of our friends on the ground. But if it will oblige you, he may come to, and remain at Louisville, upon taking the oath of allegiance, and your pledge for his good behavior. A. LINCOLN.
