Executive Mansion
March 25. 1861
W.W. Danenhower, Esq.
My dear Sir
It was with great pain that I turned you away without an interview this morning - The Senate is about adjourning, and hence my time is next to a matter of life and death with me - Besides, there is one Illinois appointment which circumstances force me to make to-day - And that done, I can crowd Illinois no Further, until I have time to make a reconing [sic].
No less your friend
than ever
A Lincoln
