    Washington City, D.C. 
    June 16. 1863 
     
    Mrs. Lincoln 
    Philadelphia. 
    It is a matter of choice with yourself whether you come home. There is no reason why you should not, that did not exist when you went away. As bearing on the question of your coming home, I do not think the raid into Pennsylvania amounts to anything at all 
    A. LINCOLN
