Washington, October 24, 1861.
Brigadier-General S.
R. Curtis:
My Dear Sir: —
Herewith is a document, half letter, half order, which, wishing you to see but
not to make public, I send unsealed. Please read it and then inclose it to the
officer who may be in command of the Department of the West at the time it
reaches you. I cannot know now whether Fremont or Hunter will then be in
command.
Yours truly,
A. Lincoln.
