To Edwin M. Stanton1Jump to section

Hon. Sec. of War. Executive Mansion,
Dear Sir. Washington, June 18. 1864.

Hon. L. Anderson and Judge Williams of Ky. are here urging, first, that assessments, for some time suspended in West Ky, be again put in operation; and secondly, that Gen. E. A. Paine be assigned to command them. Do both these things for them unless you know some reason to the contrary. I personally know Gen. Paine to be a good true man, having a West-Point education; but I do not know much as to his Military ability. Yours truly A. LINCOLN
