[1] AES, DLC-RTL. Lincoln's endorsement is written on the back of a printed copy of AGO Special Orders No. 107. See Lincoln's memorandum concerning Charles Garretson, March 1, supra. Representative Joseph Bailey may have obtained modification of Garretson's dismissal, for later references give Garretson as ``mustered out'' rather than ``dismissed'' on March 5, 1864.
