Major-General Hooker: If you can show me a trial of the incendiary shells on Saturday night, I will try to join you at 5 p.m. that day. Answer. A. LINCOLN.
Annotation
[1] OR, I, XXVII, I, 37. For Hooker's reply see Lincoln to Halleck, supra, note. At 9 P.M. Hooker telegraphed Lincoln again, ``At the time of my reply to your telegram of to-day, I supposed that this was Thursday and not Friday. It will give me great pleasure to have the gun on exhibition at 5 p.m to-morrow. I have some good targets in the shape of rebel camps which the gun will enfilade.'' (Ibid.).
