Annotation
[1] William D. Morley, Inc., Catalog, October 13, 1944, No. 274. According to the catalog description Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from Richard T. Gill, a resident of Atlanta, Illinois, whose nephew John W. Hamilton had been appointed a first lieutenant in the Regular Army but had been rejected by the Senate on August 5, 1861. There is no record of Hamilton's reappointment to the Regular Army, but he served from June 20 to September 26, 1862, as first lieutenant in the sixty-eighth Illinois Infantry, a three-months regiment.
