Annotation
[1] AES, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter of April 9, 1863, from Truman Woodruff, newly elected auditor of St. Louis. Woodruff enclosed a newspaper clipping showing results in the city election of April 6 and complained that the government was neglecting loyal Republicans in favor of secessionists, with particular reference to printing contracts which had not been given to the Missouri Democrat.
