William D. Kelley writes James Miller M'Kim recounting a meeting he had with the President and Anna E. Dickinson concerning the "attention Louisiana affairs were attracting", and states that he requested of Lincoln that he "give us as much information upon the subject as his leisure would permit and the public interest justify". Kelley reports that President Lincoln was most accommodating in this respect, and provided them with letters documenting General Banks' overview of Congressional elections in Louisiana. Kelley asserts his faith in Lincoln's promises to ensure Louisiana's status as a free state, and expresses his belief that Lincoln is "the wisest radical of us all"
