Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VII (Chap. 3.15) lyrics

Telegram To General Ord. Executive Mansion, Washington, January 19, 1864 MAJOR-GENERAL ORD: You have a man in arrest for desertion pa**ing by the name of Stanley. William Stanley, I think, but whose real name is different. He is the son of so close a friend of mine that I must not let him be executed. Please let me know what is his present and prospective condition. A. LINCOLN.
