Annotation

[1] AES-IHi. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from Major General John A. McClernand, Memphis, Tennessee, December 29, 1862, asking appointment of ``Major Adolph Schwartz, 2nd. Illinois Light Artillery, to be Asst. Inspector General of my corps, with the rank of Lt. Colonel; also Major Walter B. Scates A. A. General, for promotion to the same rank; also Capt. James Dunlap for promotion to the same rank in the Qr. Mast. Dept.'' Major Scates apparently brought this letter from McClernand along with another of the same date (see Lincoln to McClernand, January 8, infra). No record has been found of Major Schwartz's promotion. Dunlap and Scates were appointed lieutenant colonels as of January 1, 1863.
