To Edwin M. Stanton2Open page
I am appealed to, for the release of Robert Howard and Junius B. Alexander, now prisoners of war at Fort Delaware. They are both privates, and the latter only eighteen years of age as represented to me. They wish to take the oath, give bond, and be discharged. Has any rule been established that meets the case? Sec. of War please see the bearer.
