To Edwin M. Stanton1Jump to section

Executive Mansion, Washington, Jan. 8. 1864.

To-day Senator Grimes calls and asks that I may particularly examine the recommendations on file for Grenville M. Dodge for Major Genl. & Edward Hatch of 2nd. Iowa Cav. & Henry C. Caldwell of the 3rd. Iowa. Cav. for Brig. Genls. which I promise to do.

Will the Sec. of War please have these papers sent me, which, after examining, I will return? A. LINCOLN
