Later copy. Written by Major General Knox to Secretary of War Lincoln. Congratulates Lincoln on the glorious termination of our struggles. References Lincoln's letter of 22 February. Agrees with Lincoln on the efficacy of the funds you mention, but I cannot determine upon the propriety of the Army pressing the particular funds upon Congress. Expects to see him in a few days as Washington will probably want to see Lincoln before the Army is disbanded. Says the magazines and arsenals cannot be erected without a special order from him.
