Executive Mansion, Washington,
Hon. Secretary of War. July 11, 1863.

Please allow the bearer Mr. D. M. Leatherman, to take with him from the prison at Alton, Ill., his brother, J. A. Leatherman to his home at Memphis, Tenn. upon the honor of both that he will remain at Memphis, until further permission to leave. The latter resides near Murfreesboro, and was arrested and sent away by Gen. Rosecrans police for disloyalty. He has not been in the army. His brother who will take charge of him, is abundantly vouched as a Union man and honorable gentleman, by Gen. Hurlbut and many others. Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.
