Annotation

[1] ALS, RPB. Governor Yates telegraphed on January 28: ``A Soldier's home is very much needed here & the San. Com. have donated two thousand dolls. for that purpose. Can the Commission have for that purpose the use of lot purchased of Maj. Iles by the Govt. for Court house?'' (DLC-RTL).

The site of the present Federal Building at Sixth and Monroe Streets in Springfield was the lot in question. A frame building, with lounge and sleeping rooms for furloughed soldiers, was promptly erected after receipt of Lincoln's telegram. See Lincoln to Woods, April 25, infra.
