Col. Wm. S. Bliss. Executive Mansion,
New-York Hotel Washington, June 16 1863.

Your despatch, asking whether I will accept ``the loyal Brigade of the North'' is received. I never heard of that Brigade, by name, and do not know where it is; yet presuming that it is in New-York, I say I will gladly accept it, if tendered by and with the consent and approbation of the Governor of that State---otherwise not.

A. LINCOLN
