Gov. Curtin Washington, D.C.,
Harrisburg, Penn. Aug. 12, 1862.
It is very important for some regiments to arrive here at once. What lack you from us? What can we do to expedite matters? Answer. A. LINCOLN
Annotation
[1] ALS, RPB. Governor Curtin replied the same day, ``Three regiments will be organized this a.m., and leave as soon as transportation is ready. We have 13,000 men here, and will organize as rapidly as equipments and transportation can be provided. The regiments at Lancaster can go, and expect to hear from Philadelphia that some are ready there.'' (OR, III, II, 367).
