Annotation

[1] Alexander B. Hagner, A Personal Narrative of the Acquaintance of My Father and Myself with Each of the Presidents of the United States (Washington, D.C.,1915), p. 47. According to the source Lincoln's order was written on a card and given to Alexander B. Hagner of Annapolis, Maryland, who had called in behalf of his wife's uncle, the Reverend Peyton Harrison of Baltimore, under arrest on charges of disloyal conduct. Although Hagner's account does not give the specific date of Lincoln's order, the letter of Reverend Phineas D. Gurley, August 10, 1863,introduced Hagner ``on behalf of the Rev. Peyton Harrison, an excellent and venerable minister of the Old School Pres. church who is now under arrest . . . .'' (DLC-RTL).
