Washington, April 23,1861.
Dear Sir, — This
will be handed you by Mr. Andrews, with whom you are acquainted. He will inform
you of the state of affairs here: they are desperate beyond any conception.
If there be any remedy — any shadow of hope to preserve this
government from utter and absolute extinction — it must come from New York
without delay.
Yours truly,
Edwin M. Stanton.
Hon. John A. Dix.
