SIR: Your letter Of the 4th utimo, in
relation to the remains and effects of your
much lamented son, Captain George Lin
coin, has safely reached me. beg leave
10 offer my heartfelt sympa,hies with you in
the death Of this accomplished gentleman.
In his fall, you have been bereaved of son
OF whom you might be most Justly proud,
while the army has lost one Of its most
gallant soldiers. 1t is hoped, however,
that your deep grief will be assnaged in
some degree in the proud reflection that he
fell nobIy on the field of battle, while gal
lan,ly discharging the duties Of his profess
sion.


learn upon enquiry, that the body Of
yonr son was carefully removed from the
field Immediately after his death, and that
il was. decenlly inferred by itself. Its iden-
,ity is, therefore, matter Of certainty. His
effects are understood to have been collect
ed with due care, and are now under the
direction Of General Wool


shall take an early occasion to convey
your wishes on this subject to that officer,
with the request that he will be kind
enough to put the remains and effects, care
fully prepared for transportation, in route
for New York or Boston, by the first safe
opportunity, and that he give you, at the
same time, due notice thereof


| am, sir, with great respect,


Your obedient servant,
