Selected Correspondance of Abraham Lincoln 1863 To Secretary Seward
by Abraham Lincoln
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, D. C., November 23, 1863.
MY DEAR SIR:--Two despatches since I saw you; one not quite so late
on firing as we had before, but giving the points that Burnside
thinks he can hold the place, that he is not closely invested, and
that he forages across the river. The other brings the firing up to
11 A.M. yesterday, being twenty-three hours later than we had before.
