Major General Halleck Executive Mansion
My dear Sir. Jan. 23. 1863.

I understand you have before you the record of a Court-martial, in the case of Col. Samuel Graham. If so, and you have not already decided it, please do not, until speaking with me concerning it. Yours truly A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] ALS-F, ISLA. Colonel Samuel Graham of the Fifth New York Volunteer Artillery was found guilty and sentenced to be dismissed on November 17, 1862, on charges of appointing George H. Sealey as sutler for the regiment in return for $1,000 from Sealey. The court-martial recommended pardon because of Graham's inexperience, and Lincoln remitted the sentence.
