To Edwin M. Stanton1Jump to section

Hon. Sec. of War Executive Mansion,
My dear Sir: Washington, May 17, 1864.

I rather think I have said before, and at all events I say now. I would like for Rev Dr. Robert L. Stanton, of the Theological Seminary at Danville, Ky, to be a Visitor to West-Point, if there be no great obstacle in the way. Yours truly A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] ALS, NHi. No reply has been discovered. A letter from Brigadier General Richard Delafield to Nicolay, May 25, 1864, lists the ``Board of Visitors to the Mily. Academy, so far as they have been appointed,'' but Robert L. Stanton is not on the list (DLC-RTL).
