Executive Mansion,
Col. Worthington Washington, March 31, 1864.

If Major General Schenck will say in writing upon this sheet that he believes the public service would be advanced by your being placed at the head of a Regiment in the field, I will remove any legal disability resting upon you so that the Governor of Ohio may appoint you to so command a Regiment. Yours truly

A. LINCOLN
