To Edwin M. Stanton1Jump to section

Allow Col. Peyton the additional time required, unless there be reason to the contrary unknown to me. A. LINCOLN

Jan. 7. 1863.

Annotation

[1] AES, CSmH. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from Jesse E. Peyton to Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas, Philadelphia, January 3, 1863, asking an extension of time for recruiting his regiment, since the draft and restrictions imposed upon his recruiting had seriously handicapped recruitment. Stanton's endorsement below Lincoln's is as follows: ``There is good & valid reason for not extending the time & the Secretary of War declines to do it.'' See further Lincoln to Stanton, January 8, infra.
