Annotation
[1] Copy, ISLA. Lincoln's endorsement is written on the back of a letter from Anson G. Henry, March 9, 1863, which states: ``I have just heard from Stevens of the Mint. He asks for a copy of the Charges Against him, and promises to disprove them so far as they affect his integrity & management of the Mint, if a little time is allowed him.'' Robert J. Stevens, superintendent of the Mint at San Francisco, was reported to have ``appointed or retained in office dishonest or vicious men'' (New York Tribune, March 11, 1863). He was removed from office and replaced by Robert B. Swain.
