Executive Mansion,
Major General Hooker: Washington, March 13, 1863.

General Stahl wishes to be assigned to General Heintzelman, and General Heintzelman also desires it. I would like to oblige both if it will not injure the service in your army or incommode you. What say you? A. LINCOLN.

Annotation

[1] Thirty-eighth Congress, Second Session, Report of the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War (1865), I, 203. Hooker replied on March 14, ``No serious loss will result to the service by the transfer of General Stahl to General Heintzelman's command, provided Colonel [Percy] Wyndham, now on duty with General H., be ordered to join his regiment [First New Jersey Cavalry].'' (Ibid.). On February 2, Samuel P. Heintzelman had been placed in command of the Twenty-second Corps and Department of Washington, and on March 17, Brigadier General Julius Stahel was assigned to command the cavalry under Heintzelman.
