Annotation
[1] AES, DNA GE RG 60, Papers of Attorney General, Segregated Lincoln Material. Lincoln's endorsement appears on the back of Bates to Lincoln, June 1, 1861, ``May I appoint for the Western District of Missouri . . . for Attorney Jonas J. Clark/for Marshal James O. Sitton? I have just gotten a telegram from our friend S. T. Glover requesting these appointments, & urging speed.'' Sitton is listed in the office named, as of September 30, 1861, but Robert J. Lackey is listed as attorney on the same date.
