Hon. Sec. of War Executive Mansion,
Dear Sir: Washington, August 19, 1863.

The bearer of this, Judge Colt, of Mo, introduced to me by the Attorney General, tells me [he] has a Step-son---Singleton Wilson---who ran away into the rebel army, then under seventeen, and still under nineteen, and who is now a prisoner at Camp-Morton, Indiana. He now wants to take the oath of allegiance, and go home with the Judge, and the Judge desires the same.

May it not be safely done? Yours truly A. LINCOLN
