Annotation

[1] ALS, DLC-Cameron Papers. Cameron's letter to Lincoln, July 29, 1861, corroborated the fact that nominations for McClellan, Fremont, Mansfield, McDowell, Anderson, and Rosecrans for the Regular Army had already been sent to the Senate, and promised to attend to the others (DLC-RTL). The nominations of Major Generals Nathaniel P. Banks, John A. Dix, and Benjamin F. Butler; Brigadier Generals Nathaniel Lyon, John Pope, George A. McCall, Samuel R. Curtis, Philip Kearny, Joseph J. Reynolds, Rufus King, Jacob D. Cox, Stephen A. Hurlbut, Franz Sigel, Robert C. Schenck, and Benjamin M. Prentiss---all to the Volunteers---were sent to the Senate July 29, with appointments dating from May 16, 1861, for the first three named, and May 17 for the others.
