Annotation

[1] ALS, IHi. No answer from Hooker has been located, but Oliver S. Halsted telegraphed Lincoln on June 10, ``I am with the Genl. forty nine shells are at the Arsenal---the Genl. has telegraphed an answer to your dispatch requesting that they be sent down.'' (DLC-RTL).

Halsted was probably Oliver S. Halsted, Jr., a lawyer of Newark, New Jersey, who was promoting the use of incendiary shells invented by his friend Alfred Berney. Letters in the Lincoln Papers from Halsted are signed ``Jr.'' See further Lincoln's telegram to Hooker, June 12, infra.
