To Edwin M. Stanton and Henry W. Halleck1Jump to section

January 5, 1864.

I ask the respectful attention and consideration of the Secretary of War and General-in-Chief. A. LINCOLN.

Annotation

[1] AES, DNA WR RG 108, H.Q.A., S 256, Box 70. Lincoln's endorsement is on a resolution of the Kentucky General Assembly, December 14, 1863, asking the president to convene a court of inquiry on the conduct of General Thomas L. Crittenden at the Battle of Chickamauga. (see OR, I, XXX, 619). Stanton endorsed to Halleck with directions ``to detail a Court of Inquiry as speedily as possible.'' The court, convened at Nashville on January 29 and dismissed on February 23, 1864, found Crittenden not censurable.
