Hon. Sec. of War Executive Mansion
Dear Sir. Washington, January 12, 1863.
Dear Sir. Washington, January 12, 1863.
I intended proposing to you this morning, and forgot it, that Schurz and Stahl should both be Maj. Genls. Schurz to take Sigel's old corps, and Stahl to command Cavalry. They, together with Sigel, are our sincere friends; and while so much may seem rather large, any thing less is too small. I think it better be done. Yours truly A. LINCOLN
