[1] AD, DLC-RTL. This document is misdated [1861] in the Lincoln Papers. A similar autograph list of the names of the persons making the recommendations, but without names of candidates, is written on a letter from Galusha Grow, February 10, 1863, asking appointment of Henry W. Streeter. Lincoln's telegrams to Chase and Cameron on April 23 indicate that the present list was made up about April 23. Of the ten boys listed six entered West Point in 1863: Charles H. Campbell, Charles S. Heintzelman, William H. Hodges, John J. D. Kingsbury, and Christopher C. Walcott and Washington H. Walbridge, about whose last and first names respectively, Lincoln was in error.
