To Benjamin F. Butler1Jump to section
Major Gen. Butler Washington, Jan. 14, 1864.
This will introduce Thomas Stackpole, whom I found in the White-House when I came, having been brought from New-Hampshire by Mr. Pierce. I have found him a straight, energetic man. He desires to go into some business about oysters in your vicinity; and so far as you can consistently facilitate him, I shall be glad. Yours truly A. LINCOLN
