Annotation

[1] ADf, DLC-RTL. This undated memorandum written on lined note paper is given the date April 11 by Nicolay and Hay, but since Lincoln returned to Washington on April 11, it is highly probable that the memorandum was written during his visit at Hooker's headquarters some time between April 6 and 10. Hooker's letter of April 11 (see note to Lincoln's letter to Hooker, April 12, infra) suggests that the plan of attack was developed in accordance with Lincoln's views as expressed in the memorandum.
