Annotation

[1] AES, IHi. Lincoln's endorsements are written on a letter from John B. Temple, president of the Military Board, Frankfort, Kentucky, May 28, 1862, asking appointment of William E. Woodruff, formerly colonel of the Second Kentucky, as a brigadier general. While he was held a prisoner by the Confederates, Colonel Woodruff's place had been filled by another man. Although Woodruff was nominated on June 10, there is no record of his confirmation by the Senate.
