[c. January 15, 1864]

Dont pardon Racey.

Annotation

[1]   AE, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's endorsement is written on an envelope addressed to him by Senator John Sherman enclosing a letter of Charles J. Albright, Cambridge, Ohio, to Sherman, January 15, 1864, advising that ``friends of Racey, the leading Noble County conspirator . . . are petitioning President Lincoln for his pardon. . . .'' Sherman endorsed ``I herewith concur in the request that Racey be not pardoned.'' John Racey was convicted as one of the leaders of ``The Hoskinsville Rebellion'' (Cincinnati Daily Gazette, December 5, 1863).
