Annotation

[1]   AES, NHi. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a telegram from Simon Cameron, received at 10:30 A.M. on July 11, recommending that Confederate General Isaac R. Trimble, wounded at Gettysburg and ordered to Baltimore to be paroled, should be confined as a prisoner of war at Harrisburg or Pittsburgh: ``From his knowledge of the Railroads in Penna Maryland & Delaware he is a dangerous man. He burned the bridges between Phila & Balto in the beginning of the rebellion. Within the last ten days he directed and superintended the burning of the bridges between Balto & Columbia and York and Harrisburg He resided in Balto for twenty five years & is in close connection with all the rebel sympathizers in that city. He is now living in comfort at the house of a rebel sympathizer in this town while some of our wounded soldiers are still unattended.'' See Lincoln to Schenck, July 12, infra.
