To George G. Meade1Jump to section

Executive Mansion,
Major General Meade Washington, Jan. 5, 1864.

If not inconsistent with the service, please allow Gen. William Harrow as long a leave of absence as the rules permit, with the understanding that I may lengthen it, if I see fit. He is an acquaintance and friend of mine, & his family matters, very urgently require his presence. A. LINCOLN
