Hon. Sec. of War Executive Mansion,
Dear Sir Washington, Sept. 2. 1863.

This woman says her husband and two sons are in the war; that the youngest son W. J. Klaproth, is a private in Co. D, of 143rd. Pennsylvania, volunteers, was wounded, made a prisoner & paroled at Gettysburg, and is now at Center-Street hospital, New Jersey; and that he was under eighteen when he entered the service without the consent of his father or herself. She says she is destitute, and she asks that he may be discharged If she makes satisfactory proof of the above let it be done. A. LINCOLN
