Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VI (Chap. 2.307) lyrics

Telegram To General R. C. Schenck. Executive Mansion, Washington, October 22, 1863.1.30 P.M. MAJOR-GENERAL SCHENCK, Baltimore, Md.: Please come over here. The fact of one of our officers being k**ed on the Patuxent is a specimen of what I would avoid. It seems to me we could send white men to recruit better than to send negroes and thus inaugurate homicides on punctilio. Please come over. A. LINCOLN.
