August 11, 1862

On examination of George Krager's case, I think he was properly convicted; but as he was quite young, was of good character before the offence, and has behaved well in the prison, and has already suffered more than four years, I have concluded to direct his pardon for the remainder of his punishment. A. LINCOLN

Aug. 11. 1862

Annotation
