If the judgment of the Attorney General concurs, let a pardon be made out, conditioned on taking oath and giving bond, as within.

Feb. 27. 1863. A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] AES, DNA RG 204, U.S. Pardon Attorney, A 465. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from Bland Ballard, February 21, 1863, accompanying a petition from William Welch of Jefferson County, Kentucky, for pardon of his son William G. Welch, who had joined the Confederate army and who had an indictment for treason pending against him, but wished to take the oath of allegiance and return home.
