Annotation

[1] AES, THaroL. Lincoln's endorsements have been removed from the petition on which they were originally written. On June 11, 1863, James F. Robinson telegraphed Lincoln as follows: ``The Public Interests will be greatly promoted & the Peace & Quiet of the State will be secured by adding to the Dept of the Ohio under the Command of Genl. Burnside all that part of Kentucky lying South & West of the Tennessee which is now in Gen Grants Dept I most earnestly desire that this change shall be made'' (DLC-RTL).
