_ TELEGRAM TO GENERAL W. S. ROSECRANS. WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, November 14, 1863. 12.15 P.M.
I have received and considered your dispatch of yesterday. Of the reports you mention, I have not the means of seeing any except your own. Besides this, the publication might be improper in view of the court of inquiry which has been ordered. With every disposition, not merely to do justice, but to oblige you, I feel constrained to say I think the publications better not be made now. A. LINCOLN. |
