[June 19, 1863.]
Dear Stearns:
Yours recd, and communicated to Sanborn. We congratulate you
— your success seems full.
I forward the official document as requested with two remarks.
1st. Mr. Jay Browne is no “friend” of mine. He knew me and wrote me, and, as in
duty bound, I forwarded his letter to Andrew, 2d. I remember well our
understanding, a wise one, that you had nothing to do with commissions, and I
had nothing to do in recommending any one to you.
