Annotation
[1] AES, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's endorsement is written on the back of Henry Villard's letter, undated, offering his services `` . . . in supplying General Scott with whatever information of usefulness to him I shall be able to collect during my stay in Memphis, Richmond, New Orleans & other points I propose to visit. . . . '' There is no indication in Villard's Memoirs that anything came of this offer, but his tour was fully reported in the New York Herald and is extensively recounted in Villard's Memoirs (I, 200 ff.).
