Annotation

[1] AES, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from L. T. Trimble, Paducah, Kentucky, October 6, 1861, introducing F.M. Murray. Murray had written Lincoln from Paris, Kentucky, September 5, 1861, ``For the sin of having given my best support to your claims . . . I have been . . . an exile from my home and family. My residence is in . . . Paducah . . . where . . . I was engaged in the practice of law. . . . '' (DLC-RTL). There is no record of an appointment for Murray.
