Memorandum Concerning James Dillon1Jump to section
I find the papers presented for the pardon of James Dillon, has nothing from the Judge, Jury, or Attorney who tried him, and no record of the trial, containing the evidence upon which he was convicted. Unless something more definite is presented, I will have to dismiss the application. A. LINCOLN
Sep. 30. 1863.
