``Cypher''
Hon. Andrew Johnson Executive Mansion,
Nashville, Tenn. Washington, Sept. 18, 1863.
Despatch of yesterday just received. I shall try to find the paper you mention, and carefully consider it. In the mean time let me urge that you do your utmost to get every man you can, black and white, under arms at the very earliest moment, to guard roads, bridges and trains, allowing all the better trained soldiers to go forward to Rosecrans. Of course I mean for you to act in co-operation with, and not independently of, the military authorities.
A. LINCOLN
