Annotation

[1]   ALS, RPB. Bates' Diary under date of December 24, 1863, records concerning the son of Colonel R. A. Claybrook of Northumberland, Virginia:

``The Prest, being abt. to send for young Linder of Ills: at my instance, ordered up young Claybrook also . . . . to release them, if they will only accept the boon, or any reasonable terms.

Page 92

``The Prest: is anxious to gratify Linder, the father, who is his old friend; and I am very desirous to make a New Year's gift of Claybrook, to his father and family. . . .''

See Lincoln to Bates, December 30, infra.
