I personally know the writer of this to be a good man.

Dec. 4. 1862 A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] AES, IHi. Lincoln's endorsement appears on a letter of John W. True to William P. Dole, Union City, Tennessee, November 25, 1862: ``I am & have been for the past year Adjutant of the 54th Regt Ill Vol. being in turn at Cairo Ill Columbus Ky & for the past five months guarding the Mobile & O. RR. and am tired of this country, around Union City, besides (I tell you in confidence) that I do not admire some of our Field officers.

``I would like to get a paymasters place. . . .'' See further, Lincoln to Stanton, February 9, 1863, infra.
