To the Senate of the United States: February 4, 1863

In pursuance of the joint resolution of Congress approved 3 February, 1863, tendering its thanks to Commander John L. Worden, U.S. Navy, I nominate that officer to be a captain in the Navy, on the active list, from the 3d February, 1863.

It may be proper to state that the number of captains authorized by the 2d section of the act of 16 July, 1862, is now full, but presuming that the meaning of the 9th section of the same act is that the officer receiving the vote of thanks shall immediately be advanced one grade, I have made the nomination.

Washington, D.C., February 4, 1863. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Annotation

[1] Executive Journal, XIII, 113-14. John L. Worden's appointment was confirmed by the Senate on February 21.
