Endorsement Concerning William Berdine1Jump to section
Lieut. William Berdine---a curious case, to be shown to Gov. Newell.
Annotation
[1] AE, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's endorsement is on an envelope from the War Department which contained the record in Berdine's case (see Lincoln to Stanton, March 7, supra). The date April 8, 1863, is written on the envelope but not by Lincoln. It is possible that Lincoln carried the papers with him to Hooker's headquarters in order to discuss the case.
