Annotation
[1] AES, RPB. Lincoln's endorsements are written on a letter from Charles W. Sandford and others, September 9, 1863, recommending appointment of ``Major Aaron Seeley, now of the Tenth New York National Guard, who desires again to enter the Service of the United States.'' Seeley had served with the Tenth New York Infantry from September 10, 1861 to June 15, 1862, and as captain and assistant aide-de-camp, June 21 to December 29, 1862. There is no record of his appointment in 1863, but he was appointed lieutenant colonel of the Twenty-fifth New York Cavalry as of September 8, 1864.
