My dear Sir:
Mr Wentworth, called last evening & proposed writing you to day, relative to the $25,000-which Congress voted me. Please send it to me, as soon, as you conveniently can $16,000 in 7 - 30s - seven thirties - the remaining $9,000 in money. I trust, notwithstanding the arduous duties, of your office, your health remains good.
I am very respectfully yours
Mary Lincoln
