Hon. Sec. of War Executive Mansion,
My dear Sir Washington, June 6. 1862.

I need not tell you how much I would like to oblige Capt. Dahlgren. I now learn, not from him, that he would be gratified for his son Ulric Dahlgren, to be appointed a lieutenant in the Army. Please find a place for him. Yours truly A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] ALS, NHi. Ulric Dahlgren was appointed captain of Volunteers and additional aide-de-camp on the staff of General Fremont, as of May 29, 1862.
