Annotation

[1] ALS, RPB. On October 2, Schofield replied to Lincoln's telegram, ``I find . . . that the report from Leavenworth . . . is a gross misrepresentation and exaggeration. A few men who claim to be loyal, but who have been engaged in murder, robbery, and arson, have been driven out. . . . It is a base attempt of my enemies to influence your action.'' (OR, I, XXII, II, 591).

[2] The despatch is in the form of a newspaper clipping pasted on the autograph telegram.
