PRIVATE
Hon. Secretary of War Executive Mansion,
My dear Sir Washington, May 18. 1863.

You will greatly oblige me, because it will be a matter of personal relief to me, if you will allow Hanscom's (the Republican's) accounts to be settled and paid. Yours truly A. LINCOLN.

Annotation

[1] ALS, NHi. See Lincoln to Peter H. Watson, April 27, supra. The National Republican was designated by Lincoln as the official organ to print official government notices (see April 11, 1861, supra). Following a change of ownership Lincoln confirmed the designation on February 16, 1863, but for some reason the War Department failed to settle its accounts with the paper.
