To Montgomery Blair1Jump to section
I very cheerfully indorse the above indorsers, knowing nothing of Mr. Christy. A. LINCOLN
March 9. 1863.
Annotation
[1] AES, IaHA. Lincoln's endorsement is written below a note signed by Senators James Harlan and James W. Grimes and others: ``If the Post Master General finds it possible to make the promotion solicited within the undersigned would be personally gratified.'' These endorsements are no longer with the papers designated as ``within,'' and ``Mr. Christy'' has not been identified.
