Jan. 20. 1863.

Annotation

[1] AES, NHi. Lincoln's endorsement is written on the margin of a broadside reprinting an account of the dismissal of Colonel John H. McHenry, Jr., of the Seventeenth Kentucky Volunteers on account of an order issued by McHenry on October 27, 1862, in regard to returning slaves to their owners. McHenry and the Seventeenth Kentucky had established a notable battle record at Donelson and Shiloh. No record of further action in the case of Colonel McHenry has been found.
