Memorandum Concerning Frederick Moelich1Jump to section

September 10, 1863

I can not listen to a man's own story, unsupported by any evidence, who has been convicted of violating the law; because that would put an end to all law. A. LINCOLN

Sep. 10. 1863.

Annotation

[1] AES, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from Frederick Moelich, proprietor of a restaurant at 289 B Street in Washington, August 10, 1863. Moelich protested his innocence of selling liquor to soldiers, for which he had been fined.
