I propose that so soon as the day for commencing the draft in any

district is definitely determined; the governor of the State;

including the district; be notified thereof; both by telegraph and

mail; in form about as follows:



          ___________________________________



          ___________________________1863。



Governor of ___________________________________

          _____________________________________



You are notified that the draft will commence in the____________

_______________________district; at _________ on the ___________

day _____________   1863; at ________ A。M。 of said day。



Please acknowledge receipt of this by telegraph and mail。

                              ____________________________

                              ____________________________





This notice may be given by the Provost…Marshal…General here; the

sub…provost…marshal…generals in the States; or perhaps by the

district provost…marshals。



Whenever we shall have so far proceeded in New York as to make the

re…enrolment specially promised there practicable; I wish that also

to go forward; and I wish Governor Seymour notified of it; so that if

he choose; he can place agents of his with ours to see the work

fairly done。



Yours truly;



A。 LINCOLN。









TO GOVERNOR SEYMOUR。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON; D。 C。;

August 27。  1863。



HIS EXCELLENCY HORATIO SEYMOUR;



Governor of New York:



Yours of the 21st; with exhibits; was received on the 24th。



In the midst of pressing duties I have been unable to answer it

sooner。  In the meantime the Provost Marshal…General has had access

to yours; and has addressed a communication in relation to it to the

Secretary of War; a copy of which communication I herewith enclose to

you。



Independently of this; I addressed a letter on the same subject to

the Secretary of War; a copy of which I also enclose to you。  The

Secretary has sent my letter to the Provost…Marshal General; with

direction that he adopt and follow the course therein pointed out。

It will; of course; overrule any conflicting view of the

Provost…Marshal…General; if there be such。



Yours very truly;



A。 LINCOLN。



P。 S。…I do not mean to say that if the Provost…Marshal…General can

find it practicable to give credits by subdistricts; I overrule him

in that。  On the contrary; I shall be glad of it; but I will not take

the risk of over…burdening him by ordering him to do it。    A。 L。



Abraham Lincoln









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL J。 M。 SCHOFIELD。



WASHINGTON; D。 C。; August 27; 1863 8。30 P。 M。



GENERAL SCHOFIELD; St。 LOUIS:



I have just received the despatch which follows; from two very

influential citizens of Kansas; whose names I omit。  The severe blow

they have received naturally enough makes them intemperate even

without there being any just cause for blame。  Please do your utmost

to give them future security and to punish their invaders。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL G。 G。 MEADE。



WAR DEPARTMENT; WASHINGTON; D。 C。;

August 27; 1863 9 A。M。



MAJOR…GENERAL MEADE; Warrenton; Va。:



Walter; Rionese; Folancy; Lai; and Kuhn appealed to me for mercy;

without giving any ground for it whatever。  I understand these are

very flagrant cases; and that you deem their punishment as being

indispensable to the service。  If I am not mistaken in this; please

let them know at once that their appeal is denied。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO F。 C。 SHERMAN AND J。 S。 HAYES。



WASHINGTON; August 27; 1863。



F。 C。 SHERMAN; Mayor; J。 S。 HAVES; Comptroller;

Chicago; Ill。:



Yours of the 24th; in relation to the draft; is received。  It seems

to me the Government here will be overwhelmed if it undertakes to

conduct these matters with the authorities of cities and counties。

They must be conducted with the governors of States; who will; of

course; represent their cities and counties。  Meanwhile you need not

be uneasy until you again hear from here。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL FOSTER。



WAR DEPARTMENT; WASHINGTON; August 28; 1863。



MAJOR…GENERAL FOSTER; Fort Monroe; Va。 :



Please notify; if you can; Senator Bowden; Mr。 Segar; and Mr。

Chandler; all or any of them; that I now have the record in Dr。

Wright's case; and am ready to hear them。  When you shall have got

the notice to them; please let me know。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL CRAWFORD。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON; D。 C。; August 28; 1863。



GENERAL CRAWFORD; Rappahannock Station; Va。:



I regret that I cannot be present to witness the presentation of a

sword by the gallant Pennsylvania Reserve Corps to one so worthy to

receive it as General Meade。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO L。 SWETT。



WASHINGTON; D。 C。; August 29; 1863。



HON。 L。 SWETT; San Francisco; Cal。:

If the Government's rights are reserved; the Government will be

satisfied; and at all events it will consider。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO MRS。 LINCOLN。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON; D。 C。

August 29; 1863。



MRS。 A。 LINCOLN; Manchester; N。 H。:



All quite well。 Fort Sumter is certainly battered down and utterly

useless to the enemy; and it is believed here; but not entirely

certain; that both Sumter and Fort Wagner are occupied by our forces。

It is also certain that General Gilmore has thrown some shot into the

city of Charleston。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO J。 C。 CONKLING。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON;

August 31; 1863。



HON。 JAMES C。 CONKLING; Springfield; Ill。:



In my letter of the 26th insert between the sentence ending 〃since

the issue of the Emancipation Proclamation as before〃 and the next;

commencing 〃You say you will not fight; etc。;〃 what follows below my

signature hereto。



A。 LINCOLN。



〃I know as fully as one can know the opinions of others that some of

the commanders of our armies in the field; who have given us our most

important successes; believe the emancipation policy and the use of

colored troops constitute the heaviest blow yet dealt to the

rebellion; and that at least one of those important successes could

not have been achieved when it was; but for the aid of black

soldiers。  Among the commanders holding these views are some who have

never had any affinity with what is called abolitionism; or with

Republican party politics; but who hold them purely as military

opinions。  I submit these opinions as being entitled to some weight

against the objections; often urged; that emancipation and arming the

blacks are unwise as military measures and were not adopted as such

in good faith。









TO GENERAL W。 S。 ROSECRANS。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON;

August 31; 1863。



MY DEAR GENERAL ROSECRANS:



Yours of the 22d was received yesterday。  When I wrote you before; I

did not intend; nor do I now; to engage in an argument with you on

military questions。  You had informed me you were impressed through

General Halleck that I was dissatisfied with you; and I could not

bluntly deny that I was without unjustly implicating him。  I

therefore concluded to tell you the plain truth; being satisfied the

matter would thus appear much smaller than it would if seen by mere

glimpses。  I repeat that my appreciation of you has not abated。  I

can never forget whilst I remember anything; that about the end of

last year and the beginning of this; you gave us a hard…earned

victory; which; had there been a defeat instead; the nation could

hardly have lived over。  Neither can I forget the check you so

opportunely gave to a dangerous sentiment which was spreading in the

North。



Yours; as ever;



A。 LINCOLN









TO GENERAL H。 W。 HALLECK。



August 31; 1863



It is not improbable that retaliation for the recent great outrage at

Lawrence; in Kansas; may extend to indiscriminate slaughter on the

Missouri border; unless averted by very judicious action。  I shall be

obliged if the general…in…chief can make any suggestions to General

Schofield upon the subject。



A。 LINCOLN。









POLITICAL MOTIVATED MISQUOTATION IN NEWSPAPER



TELEGRAM TO J。 C。 CONKLING。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON; September 3; 1863。



HON。 JAMES C。 CONKLING; Springfield; Ill。:



I am mortified this morning to find the letter to you botched up in

the Eastern papers; telegraphed from Chicago。  How did this happen?



A。 LINCOLN。
