Selected Correspondance of Abraham Lincoln 1863 Telegram To General J. M. Schofield
by Abraham Lincoln
WASHINGTON, D. C., August 27, 1863 8.30 P. M.
GENERAL SCHOFIELD, St. LOUIS:
I have just received the despatch which follows, from two very
influential citizens of Kansas, whose names I omit. The severe blow
they have received naturally enough makes them intemperate even
without there being any just cause for blame. Please do your utmost
to give them future security and to punish their invaders.
