LINCOLN AND THE LETTER.
4 I believe I’ll sit down,’ said Stanton, 4 and give that man a piece of my mind,’
4 Do so,’ said Lincoln ; 4 write him now, while you have it on your mind. Make it sharp ; cut him all up.’ Stanton did not need a second invitation. It was a bone-crusher, which he read to the President, 4 That’s right,’ said Abe ; 4 that’s a good one.’ 4 Who can I get to send it by ?’ mused the secretary. 4 Send it?’ replied Lincoln'; 4 send it.’ Why, don’t send it at all. Tear it up. You have freed your mind on the subject, and that is all that is necessary. Tear it up. You never want to send such letters. I never do.’
