Annotation

[1] ALS, CSmH. trumbull wrote on December 14, enclosing an ``old letter'' from Benjamin F. Wade, `` . . . but you will see from it, what his views are.'' He added that he understood some people ``high up'' in the South were to write Lincoln for a statement and that if they were sufficiently prominent Lincoln's answer might do good (DLC-RTL).

[2] No letter of this period to Thomas Corwin seems to be extant, but Lincoln here implies that his letter to John A. Gilmer (December 15, supra) was sent to Corwin, and Corwin's letter of December 11 enclosing Gilmer's letter of December 10 requested that Lincoln's reply be enclosed in care of Corwin.
