Annotation

[1] ALS, RPB. The roster of the Seventh Illinois lists no Abraham C. Corsey, and no correspondence from him or further reference to him can be found. Lincoln probably erred in writing the name. Abraham C. Corder of Brooklyn and New Haven, Illinois, was a wagon master in the Seventh Illinois Cavalry. On March 16, 1863, he telegraphed Lincoln from Memphis, ``Your dispatch of Decr 18th recd. states `not yet.' Am now ready to go to work.'' (DLC-RTL). No satisfactory explanation has been found for this cryptic exchange of telegrams.
