Edward H. Hobson, President of the Soldiers Home in Kentucky, writes to John Boyle, a member of the finance committee of the institution. He transmits a copy of his letter (not present) to the President on Boyle's behalf. He hopes the letter will help obtain his appointment as a U.S. Judge. Hobson also sends a copy of a letter (not present) written by Boyle's father, Jeremiah T. Boyle, to President Abraham Lincoln, urging his promotion. He hopes that Boyle's father's estimates of his good qualities have been sustained.
