The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VII (Chap. 2.150)
Telegram To Governor Johnson. Washington, July 27, 1864.
Governor Johnson, Nashville, Tennessee:

Yours in relation to General A. C. Gillam just received. Will look after the matter to-day.

I also received yours about General Carl Schurz. I appreciate him certainly, as highly as you do; but you can never know until you have the trial, how difficult it is to find a place for an officer of so high rank when there is no place seeking him.

A. LINCOLN.
