There is not, so far as I know, and 4CJ has not provided any after at least ten days -- there is no evidence that Lincoln asked Butler about transporting blacks at all, let alone with the aid of the US Navy, except this book of Buter's [sic] from 1892.

I've seen Butler's Book offered for as low as $45 on the net. Just because you disagree with Butler's statements does not mean that it is not true.

Just because a book is offered on the internet doesn't mean it contains a true recounting of events.

If Butler had such a conversation with president Lincoln there should be something in the record to corroborate that. I haven't seen such.
