[1] ALS, RPB. See Lincoln to Stanton, infra. Guthrie telegraphed Lincoln on May 16 as follows: ``Col. Samuel B. Churchill, of Saint Louis, formerly of this city, has been banished South with his wife and seven children, five of them very small. Colonel Churchill is a man of intelligence and high character, of moderate fortune. It will utterly ruin him to have to go South. I respectfully request that his sentence be commuted. He will take the oath and give bond if allowed. I ask this because I know him and rely on his honor, and he is a cousin of my children.'' (OR, II, V, 627).
