[1] ADfS, DLC-RTL. Governor Stanly wrote Lincoln on September 29, 1862, ``I have completed my business with the War Department, and shall very soon be ready to start for North Carolina. . . . Allow me to express my deep gratification, on learning from your own lips, after a full and free conference, that my conduct as Military Governor . . . , which had been misrepresented and misunderstood, had met your approbation, as well as that of the Secretary of War. . . . If you have any further suggestions to make, I will call at any hour you may designate'' (DLC-RTL). See Lincoln's communication to the House of Representatives concerning Stanly, June 4, supra.
