Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VI (Chap. 1.102) lyrics

Message To The Senate. Executive Mansion, July 2, 1862. TO THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES: I herewith return to your honorable body, in which it originated, an act entitled "An act to provide for additional medical officers of the volunteer service," without my approval. My reason for so doing is that I have approved an act of the same title pa**ed by Congress after the pa**age of the one first mentioned for the express purpose of correcting errors in and superseding the same, as I am informed. A. LINCOLN.
