TO SECRETARY STANTON.
Executive Mansion
Washington, December 31, 1863.
Hon. Secretary of war.
Sir:—Please fix up the department to which Curtis is to go, without waiting to wind up the Missouri matter. Lane is very anxious to have Fort Smith in it, and I am willing, unless there be decided military reasons to the contrary, in which case of course, I am not for it. It will oblige me to have the Curtis department fixed at once.
Yours truly,
A. Lincoln.
