Memorandum Concerning William E. Morgan1Jump to section

September 5 and 18, 1863

I know nothing of this particular case. I have said a great many times, that all whose services we receive, should be paid,---but I do not know, nor have I the time to enquire, whether this claim can be lawfully paid or not. If it can, let it be done.

Sep. 5. 1863. A. LINCOLN

I can not properly say more than I have said above.

Sep. 18. 1863. A. LINCOLN
