Selected Correspondance of Abraham Lincoln 1863 Telegram To General Meade
by Abraham Lincoln
WASHINGTON, D.C., September 12, 1863.
MAJOR-GENERAL MEAD, Warrenton, Va.:
The name is "Thomas Edds" not "Eddies" as in your despatch. The
papers left with me do not designate the regiment to which he
belongs. The man who gave me the papers, I do not know how to find
again. He only told me that Edds is in the Army of the Potomac, and
that he fell out of the ranks during Burnside's mud march last
winter. If I get further information I will telegraph again.
