Welles Announces Lincoln's Assassination-- Part 2

In the summer of 1863, Lincoln had written:  "Nor must Uncle Sam's web feet be forgotten.  At all the watery margins they have been present.  Not only on the deep sea, the broad bay, the rapid river, but also the narrow, muddy bayou, and wherever the ground was a little damp, they have been and made their tracks."

High praise for the Navy.  Washington Navy Yard was visited often by Abraham Lincoln.

--Old B-R'er
