Annotation

[1] AE, DNA WR RG 153, Judge Advocate General, LL 422, John C. Schore (Schorr). LINCOLN's endorsement is written on an envelope which contained papers in the case of John C. Shore, Company F, One Hundred Ninth Illinois Volunteers, sentenced to be shot for desertion. On recommendation of the judge advocate general the sentence was commuted to hard labor for one year. On August 31, 1864, Shore's sentence was extended to ``discharge from the United States service, with forfeiture of all pay and allowances due, and imprisonment at the Dry Tortugas, Florida. . . .'' (AGO Special Orders No. 287).
