Annotation

[1] AES, NHi. Lincoln's endorsement is written on the last page of a telegram containing only the following words ``the circumstances? Joseph M. Wightman Mayor.'' No reply from Stanton has been found, and the remainder of Wightman's telegram is missing, but see Lincoln to Governor John A. Andrew, August 20, infra.
