Annotation

[1] AES, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from Ezra Webb, Washington, April 11, 1863, ``On 14th. ult. my friend Senator Wade who attended to my restoration, as Paymaster, informed me you had (through him restored me some 10 days previously). I then said I would return to Cincinnati and return here and file my accounts and vouchers with as little delay as possible. . . . I was paying troops on big Sandy in Jany & could not file accts as early as those who quit in Nov & Decr.'' Stanton endorsed ``I know nothing about the case.'' Ezra Webb's appointment as additional paymaster of Volunteers was confirmed by the Senate on June 30, 1862. No further reference to his removal or restoration has been found.
