To Edwin M. Stanton1Jump to section
Hon. Secretary of War January 17, 1865.
My dear Sir: Some time last autumn (I think it was) Shelby made a raid into Missouri; and Gen. Brown had something to do in driving him out. If Gen. Brown's report of the matter is on file, please send me a copy of it. Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.
