TO GENERAL SCHOFIELD。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON

May 27; 1863。



GENERAL JOHN M。 SCHOFIELD。



MY DEAR SIR:Having relieved General Curtis and assigned you to the

command of the Department of the Missouri; I think it may be of some

advantage for me to state why I did it。  I did not relieve General

Curtis because of any full conviction that he had done wrong by

commission or omission。  I did it because of a conviction in my mind

that the Union men of Missouri; constituting; when united; a vast

majority of the whole people; have entered into a pestilent factional

quarrel among themselvesGeneral Curtis; perhaps not of choice;

being the head of one faction and Governor Gamble that of the other。

After months of labor to reconcile the difficulty; it seemed to grow

worse and worse; until I felt it my duty to break it up somehow; and

as I could not remove Governor Gamble; I had to remove General

Curtis。  Now that you are in the position; I wish you to undo nothing

merely because General Curtis or Governor Gamble did it; but to

exercise your own judgment; and do right for the public interest。

Let your military measures be strong enough to repel the invader and

keep the peace; and not so strong as to unnecessarily harass and

persecute the people。  It is a difficult role; and so much greater

will be the honor if you perform it well。  If both factions; or

neither; shall abuse you; you will probably be about right。  Beware

of being assailed by one and praised by the other。



Yours truly;



A。 LINCOLN。

WASHINGTON; May 28; 1863。

WASHINGTON; May 29; 1863

Your despatch of to…day received。  When I shall wish to supersede you

TELEGRAM TO GENERAL BUTTERFIELD。



WAR DEPARTMENT; WASHINGTON; D。C。; June 4; 1863。



MAJOR…GENERAL BUTTERFIELD:



The news you send me from the Richmond Sentinel of the 3d must be

greatly if not wholly incorrect。  The Thursday mentioned was the

28th; and we have despatches here directly from Vicksburg of the

28th; 29th; 30th; and 31st; and; while they speak of the siege

progressing; they speak of no assault or general fighting whatever;

and in fact they so speak as to almost exclude the idea that there

can have been any since Monday the 25th; which was not very heavy。

Neither do they mention any demand made by Grant upon Pemberton for a

surrender。  They speak of our troops as being in good health;

condition; and spirits。  Some of them do say that Banks has Port

Hudson invested。



A。 LINCOLN。









TO SECRETARY STANTON。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON;

HON。 SECRETARY OF WAR。



MY DEAR SIR:I have received additional despatches; which; with

order suspending the Chicago Times; and if you concur in opinion;

please have it done。



Yours truly;



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL HOOKER。



WASHINGTON; D。C。 JUNE 5; 1863



MAJOR…GENERAL HOOKER:



Yours of to…day was received an hour ago。  So much of professional

military skill is requisite to answer it that I have turned the task

over to General Halleck。  He promises to perform it with his utmost

care。  I have but one idea which I think worth suggesting to you; and

that is; in case you find Lee coming to the north of the

Rappahannock; I would by no means cross to the south of it。  If he

should leave a rear force at Fredericksburg; tempting you to fall

upon it; it would fight in entrenchments and have you at advantage;

and so; man for man;
