Executive Mansion,
Washington, D. C., Nov. 8, 1864.
The Managing
Committee of the Sailor's Fair:
Boston, Mass.
Allow
me to wish you a great success. With the old fame of the Navy, made brighter in
the present war, you can not fail. I name none, lest I wrong others by
omission. To all, from Rear Admiral, to honest Jack I tender the Nation's
admiration and gratitude
A. LINCOLN
