May 27, 1863

Submitted to the Secretary of War, with the remark that while very probably Col. Woodroof is a very good man, I do not remember the matter he alludes to, or any promise of mine to him.

May 27. 1863. A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] AES, owned by Emanuel A. Gardiner, New York City. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from William E. Woodruff, late colonel of the Second Kentucky Infantry, May 9, 1863, reminding the president of the ``facts in my case'' (see Lincoln to Stanton, June 5, 1862, supra), and proposing that he be appointed brigadier general to raise ``an entirely new Command of Mounted Infantry, to operate on the flanks and in rear of the Enemy.''
