Annotation

[1] AES, DNA RG 204, U.S. Pardon Attorney, A 456. Lincoln's endorsement, preceded by one from Benjamin F. Butler recommending the pardon, is written on a recommendation signed by Ira Harris and others, January 5, 1863, in the case of Robert B. Nay, formerly of New York and Quincy, Illinois, who had served as chief of detectives in the provost marshal's department under Butler at New Orleans. Nay had been convicted of defrauding the government. See Lincoln to Bates, February 13, infra.
