Annotation

[1] ALS, ORB. On the envelope Lincoln wrote ``Will Capt. Dahlgren please see Mr. Blunt?'' See also Lincoln's endorsement, infra. Orison Blunt was a leading New York Republican associated with J. G. Syms in the manufacture of guns. In 1862 Blunt made for the U.S. Government a small lot of Enfield pattern rifles, which may be the gun referred to by Lincoln. See Stephen Van Rensselaer, American Firearms (1947), and Claud E. Fuller and Richard D. Stewart, Firearms of the Confederacy (1944).
