Annotation

[1] Robert B. Warden, Account of the Private Life and Public Services of Salmon Portland Chase (1874), p. 556. Secretary Chase replied on January 12, ``Nothing at all, except urgent representatives of the necessity of reform, which do not, at all impeach Mr. Barney, in whose integrity I have undiminished confidence.'' (DLC-RTL).

The many communications on this subject from January to September, 1864, when Barney resigned and Lincoln appointed Simeon Draper in his place, indicate that the issue was not only ``reform'' but Barney's purported activity in support of Chase's candidacy for the Republican nomination for president.
