Annotation

[1] AES, CSmH. Lincoln's endorsements are written on a letter from James S. Rollins and others, February 8, 1864, asking pardon of Porter Jackman of Howard County, Missouri, imprisoned and fined by a military commission for disloyalty. Bates endorsed on March 2, 1864, ``I have no doubt of your power to exonerate the man by a pardon. And, in view of the within Statement, I advise it to be done.

``If you determine to grant the pardon, please send your order, endorsed on this paper.''
