Lincoln replies to Browning's letter: "As you anticipate, I had 
already recommended Judge Logan . . .; and more, I had already said 
all I could consistently with this, in favor of Judge Lockwood. I 
certainly esteem Mr. Bushnell as being every way worthy of such an 
office. In moral character, and legal attainments, he is entirely 
sound and sufficient. If you think this letter can be used to any 
advantage, you are at liberty to so use it."
