Hon J. H. Lane; Executive Mansion,
My dear Sir: Washington, July 17, 1863.

Gov. Carney has not asked to [have] Gen. Blunt removed, or interfered with in his Military operations. He has asked that he, the Governor, be allowed to commission officers for troops raised in Kansas, as other governors of loyal states do; and I think he is right in this. He has asked that Gen. Blunt shall not take persons charged with civil crimes, out of the hands of the courts, and turn them over to mobs to be hung; and I think he is right in this also. He has asked that Gen. Ewing's Department be extended to include all Kansas; and I have not determined whether this is right or not. Yours truly

A. LINCOLN
