Annotation

[1] Copy, DNA WR RG 108, HQA, No. 67, Box 60. No trace has been found of a letter from General Joseph Hooker to which Lincoln might be referring, but one is tempted to suspect that it may have been a private, rather than an official letter, containing personal views pertinent to the question of whether he was fit to command the Army of the Potomac.
