Hon. Sec. of War Executive Mansion
My dear Sir May 15, 1862.

Capt. Symmes Gardner, was nominated to the Senate as Assistant Quarter-Master, and rejected. My impression is that I directed his renomination, on information from Senators, that the rejection probably resulted from mistake. If there be such direction of mine on file, please send me the re-nomination at once. Yours truly

A. LINCOLN

If Gen. Meigs will say in writing that this re-nomination may properly be made, I will do it. A. LINCOLN

Dec. 11. 1862

If there is a vacancy of Asst. Q. M. not already promised---let Capt. Gardner have it. Dec. 15, 1862. A. LINCOLN
