To Benjamin F. Wade1Jump to section

Will the Committee please call and see me at, say 8. o'clock this evening? A. LINCOLN

March 7. 1863.

Annotation

[1] AES, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from Senator Wade, chairman of the committee on the conduct of the war, March 7, 1863, asking that ``copies of all papers & documents connected with the movements of the Army of the Potomac,'' requested by a Senate resolution of December 5, 1862, but never received, be furnished ``with as little delay as possible, as they are very necessary to enable us to complete our labors.'' Wade's endorsement appearing below Lincoln's is as follows: ``I will see you this evening at 8 o'clock as you suggest.'' No record has been found of the conference nor of Lincoln's transmittal of the requested papers. A joint resolution of March 2, 1863, extended the life of the committee for thirty days.
