Annotation

[1] AES, DLC-Ewing Papers. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from Thomas Ewing recommending his son Thomas, Jr., who had ``borne himself creditably . . . in three hard fought battles, but his habits & education do in my opinion fit him for civil rather than military life,'' for appointment as assistant secretary of the Interior. On March 13, Colonel Thomas Ewing, Jr., of the Eleventh Kansas Cavalry, was nominated brigadier general of Volunteers, and was confirmed by the Senate on the same day.
