June 1, 1863

It appears that Martin Davis, of Co. G. 85th. N.Y. Vols. has been convicted of something, as he is applying to me for a pardon. Will the Judge Advocate General please send me the record?

June 1. 1863. A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] AES, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from William S. Briggs, Penn Yan, New York, May 18, 1863, introducing Ezekiel Clark, attorney for Private Martin Davis of the Eighty-fifth New York Volunteers, under sentence ``for an offense committed against an officer.'' Holt endorsed, ``The record in the above case has not been recvd, in this office.'' No further reference to this case has been found.
