To George G. Meade1Jump to section

Major-General Meade, Executive Mansion,
Warrenton, Va.: Washington, September 9, 1863.

It would be a generous thing to give General Wheaton a leave of absence for ten or fifteen days, and if you can do so without injury to the service, please do it. A. LINCOLN.

Annotation

[1] Tarbell (Appendix), p. 381. Meade replied at once, ``Gen. Wheaton, has made no application for a leave of absence. There will be no difficulty in his obtaining one, when he does apply.'' (DLC-RTL). See Lincoln to Wheaton, September 10, infra.
