Annotation

[1] AD, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's memorandum is on a small card. The bracketed date is that assigned to the document as cataloged in the Lincoln Papers. Presumably the memorandum was jotted down as a reminder of problems currently pressing for solution. See Lincoln to Strong, November 3, to Cameron, November 4, and the order approving Governor Gamble's plan, November 6, infra. Recommendations for formation of a new military department west of Missouri were currently under consideration, and a letter from Benjamin F. Wade, Zachariah Chandler, and David Kilgore, November 1, 1861, recommended the appointment of General James Lane as commander of the proposed department (ibid.).
