Admiral Dahlgren Executive Mansion,
My dear Sir Washington, Jan. 9. 1864.

Capt. Lavender wishes to show you a contrivance of his for discovering, and aiding to remove, under-water obstructions to the passage of vessels, and has sufficiently impressed me to induce me to send him to you. He is sufficiently vouched to me as a worthy gentleman; and this known, it needs not my asking for you to treat him as such. Yours truly A. LINCOLN
