The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. V (Chap. 4.135)
To The Secretary Of State
Executive Mansion, October 4, 1861
HONORABLE SECRETARY OF STATE.
DEAR SIR:—Please see Mr. Walker, well vouched as a Union man and son-in-law of Governor Morehead, and pleading for his release. I understand the Kentucky arrests were not made by special direction from here, and I am willing if you are that any of the parties may be released when James Guthrie and James Speed think they should be.
Yours truly,
A. LINCOLN.
