Annotation

[1] AES, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from General Erasmus D. Keyes, Yorktown, August 25, 1862, ``Having given my opinion in favor of removing the army from Harrison's Landing when your Excellency was at that place, and afterwards by letter, I did not learn that my views were in opposition to those of . . . McClellan and of most . . . the corps commanders until quite recently!. . . . As my corps . . . has been left behind on this Peninsula, and as two brigades have been detached . . . to Genl. Dix, the main object of this note is to ask Your Excellency to maintain me in a command corresponding with my rank. . . .'' (DLC-RTL).
