Selected Correspondance of Abraham Lincoln 1863 Letter To Major-General A. B. Burnside
by Abraham Lincoln
May 20, 1863.
MAJOR-GENERAL A. B. BURNSIDE,
Commanding Department of Ohio, Cincinnati, O.
Your despatch of three o'clock this afternoon to the Secretary of War
has been received and shown to the President. He thinks the best
disposition to be made of Vallandigham is to put him beyond the
lines, as directed in the order transmitted to you last evening, and
directs that you execute that order by sending him forward under
secure guard without delay to General Rosecrans.
By order of the President:
ED. R. S. CANBY, Brigadier-General
