February 3, 1862
President Abraham Lincoln,
To His Majesty Somdetch Phra Paramendr Maha Mongut, King of Siam [Thailand],
Great and Good Friend: I have received Your Majesty's two letters of the date of February 14th 1861.
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. This Government would not hesitate to avail [take advantage] itself of so generous an offer if the object were one which could be made practically useful in the present condition of the United States.
Our political jurisdiction, however, does not reach a latitude so low as to favor the multiplication of the elephant, and steam on land, as well as on water, has been our best and most efficient agent of transportation in internal commerce.
...Meantime, wishing for Your Majesty a long and happy life, and for the generous and emulous People of Siam the highest possible prosperity, I commend both to the blessing of Almighty God.
Your Good Friend,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
