Annotation

[1] AES (copy), DLC-RTL. The copy of Poorman's letter of May 9, 1864, in Lincoln's autograph and with the above endorsement, reads as follows: ``As I am now out of business I write you for the purpose of making application for a permit to trade within the lines of the Western Army in all kinds of Merchandize, Liquors excepted. I would of course expect to be governed by the rules of Trade as established by the Treasure department. If you will grant me this request you will confer a favor that will not be soon forgotten.''

Allison C. Poorman married Amanda Hanks, daughter of Dennis Hanks.
