TELEGRAM TO GENERAL W。 S。 ROSECRANS。
WASHINGTON; May 20; 1863。
MAJOR…GENERAL ROSECRANS:
Yours of yesterday in regard to Colonel Haggard is received。 I am
anxious that you shall not misunderstand me。 In no case have I
intended to censure you or to question your ability。 In Colonel
Haggard's case I meant no more than to suggest that possibly you
might have been mistaken in a point that could 'be' corrected。 I
frequently make mistakes myself in the many things I am compelled to
do hastily。

TO GENERAL SCHOFIELD。
EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON
May 27; 1863。
GENERAL JOHN M。 SCHOFIELD。
MY DEAR SIR:Having relieved General Curtis and assigned you to the
command of the Department of the Missouri; I think it may be of some
advantage for me to state why I did it。 I did not relieve General
Curtis because of any full conviction that he had done wrong by
commission or omission。 I did it because of a conviction in my mind
that the Union men of Missouri; constituting; when united; a vast
majority of the whole people; have entered into a pestilent factional
quarrel among themselvesGeneral Curtis; perhaps not of choice;
being the head of one faction and Governor Gamble that of the other。
After months of labor to reconcile the difficulty; it seemed to grow
worse and worse; until I felt it my duty to break it up somehow; and
as I could not remove Governor Gamble; I had to remove General
Curtis。 Now that you are in the position; I wish you to undo nothing
merely because General Curtis or Governor Gamble did it; but to
exercise your own judgment; and do right for the public interest。
Let your military measures be strong enough to repel the invader and
keep the peace; and not so strong as to unnecessarily harass and
persecute the people。 It is a difficult role; and so much greater
will be the honor if you perform it well。 If both factions; or
neither; shall abuse you; you will probably be about right。 Beware
of being assailed by one and praised by the other。
Yours truly;
A。 LINCOLN。
