Sec. of War, please see the bearer, and have any injustice which may have been done Gen. Keyes corrected. A. LINCOLN

Jan. 28. 1863.

Annotation

[1] AES, NHi. Lincoln's endorsement is written on the envelope of a letter from Major General Erasmus D. Keyes, January 25, 1863:

``I take the liberty to introduce to you my adjutant General, Col. C[harles]. C. Suydam. As the nominations of Sumner, Heintzleman, Hooker & Casey to be major generals to date from Williamsburg & Fair Oaks, while my name is omitted, does me injustice, I have requested Col. Suydam to state to you the facts of my conduct in those two battles with which he was personally cognizant.''

Keyes' nomination as major general, dated March 5, 1863, was confirmed by the Senate on March 11.
