Annotation

[1] D, DNA WR RG 107, Presidential Telegrams, I, 60. This telegram, including the signature, is not in Lincoln's handwriting. At the top of the telegram is written ``Fredericksburg,'' presumably the location of the hospital in which Colonel William R. Smedburg was convalescing from wounds received in the Battle of the Wilderness. Stansbury has not been positively identified, but may haven been E. A. Stansbury of New York City.
