Letter to Edwin M. Stanton [manuscript], 1863 December 21.

Gideon Welles has reported that strikes in naval shipyards have delayed completion of vessels. Lincoln wants General Gillmore to confer with Admiral Dahlgren. Lincoln then discusses the "Western matter," agreeing with Henderson and Brown that the social influences of St. Louis "would inevitably tell injuriously upon Gen. Pope." He does not think he can get General S.'s nomination through the Senate.
