Annotation

[1] AL-F, ISLA. This communication was written by Lincoln and signed by Stanton. General Butler wrote Lincoln on February 23, 1864, a forty-page report enclosing voluminous reports and summaries from his subordinates, which explained the necessities that had dictated the issuing of his General Orders No. 40 and clarified misstatements made by Governor Peirpoint (DLC-RTL). The bracketed date is established by related communications in the Butler Papers and the Lincoln Papers (DLC).
