Abraham Lincoln to Edwin M. Stanton, June 4, 1863

EXECUTIVE MANSION,   
Washington, June 4, 1863.
Hon. SECRETARY OF WAR:

MY DEAR SIR: I have received additional dispatches which, with former ones, induce me to believe we should revoke or suspend the order suspending the Chicago Times, and if you concur in opinion, please have it done.

Yours, truly,
A. LINCOLN.
