Annotation

[1] ALS, RPB. See Lincoln to Foster, August 3, supra. Lemuel J. Bowden of Norfolk requested on August 7 that ``so soon as the record in the case of Dr. D. M. Wright . . . shall be laid before you, you will telegraph the Hon. L. H. Chandler and myself, fixing some day when we may appear before you and present the mass of testimony which has been taken to prove the insanity of Doctor Wright. . . .'' (OR, II, VI, 187).

General Foster replied at 11:20 A.M. on August 28, ``I have notified Mr Chandler of your wishes & he will start for Washington this evening. I have also sent notice to Senator Bowden Mr Segar is not here but is understood to be in Washington. . . .''
