Executive Mansion,
Washington, Aug. 29, 1863
Hon. Sec. of War
Dr. Browne, the Embalmer, who has so long gone with our armies, says he is now prevented in consequence of loss of a paper. I suppose he should be given another, unless there be some reason to the contrary unknown to me.
Yours truly
A. Lincoln
