Washington, 18 May, 1862.
. . . I hope God will give his servant Abraham the grace to
stand by his general and not let the border state men sacrifice him. I cannot
say, however, that I have the highest degree of faith in a president who thinks
it necessary to salvation to allow the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law in
this District at this time. . . .
