My good friend,

I have received your letters and they have warmed my heart during the start of this winter. I appreciate most highly Your Majesty's tender of good offices in forwarding to this Government a stock from which a supply of elephants might be raised on our own soil. If you see fit to send them to our shores, I shall not protest. You will find attached to this letter a reply from Secretary of State Seward with details on a forthcoming diplomatic mission to your country. 

Meantime, wishing for Your Majesty a long and happy life, and for the generous People of Siam the highest possible prosperity, I commend both to the blessing of Almighty God. 

Your Good Friend,

Abraham Lincoln
