Hon. L. Swett Washington D.C.

If the government's rights are reserved, the government will be satisfied; and, at all events, it will consider. A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] ALS, RPB. See Lincoln to Low, August 17, supra. On August 29, Swett telegraphed Lincoln, ``Have compromised subject to approval, and under advice of Governor of this State and other leading men. The rights and interests of the Government have been respected. Shall return in September, and as the case is complicated would like to have opinion suspended until I can personally explain. You will then be satisfied with my action. I congratulate you on the great victories.'' (OR, I, L, II, 596).
