To Edwin M. Stanton1Jump to section
The bearer of this L. B. Goggin, resides in Kentucky and is well vouched as an unconditional Union man. He also is brother of W. L. Goggin of Va., whom I know, and whose honor I would take to any extent he would pledge it. Please see him and allow him to bring away from Va. a widowed daughter, whom he expects to meet at City Point.
