To Simon Cameron1Jump to section

Hon. Sec. of War. Executive Mansion
My dear Sir July 29, 1861

I understand that by an existing law, there is to be a Paymaster for every two regiments of volunteers. With this understanding I wish to appoint Valentine C. Hanna of Indiana one of these Paymasters; and that it be done at once, or put on a list so that it will certainly be done in due course. Yours truly A. LINCOLN.

Annotation

[1] ALS, CSmH. Valentine C. Hanna was appointed additional paymaster, August 15, 1861.
