The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VI (Chap. 1.175) lyrics
by Abraham Lincoln
Telegram To General H. G. Wright.
Military Telegraph, Washington, September 12, 1862.
MAJOR-GENERAL WRIGHT, Cincinnati, Ohio:
I am being appealed to from Louisville against your withdrawing troops from that place. While I cannot pretend to judge of the propriety of what you are doing, you would much oblige me by furnishing me a rational answer to make to the governor and others at Louisville.
A. LINCOLN.
