EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON； May 12； 1863。
GOVERNOR SEYMOUR； Albany； N。Y。：
Dr。 Swinburne and Mr。 Gillett are here； having been refused； as they
say； by the War Department； permission to go to the Army of the
Potomac。 They now appeal to me； saying you wish them to go。 I
suppose they have been excluded by a rule which experience has
induced the department to deem proper； still they shall have leave to
go； if you say you desire it。 Please answer。

TELEGRAM TO A。 G。 HENRY。
EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON May 13；1863。
Dr。 A。 G。 HENRY； Metropolitan Hotel； New York：
Governor Chase's feelings were hurt by my action in his absence。

and asks a day or two to make the designation。

TO GENERAL J。 HOOKER。
EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON； D。C。
May 14； 1863。
MAJOR…GENERAL HOOKER； Commanding。
MY DEAR SIR：When I wrote on the 7th； I had an impression that
possibly by an early movement you could get some advantage from the
supposed facts that the enemy's communications were disturbed and
that he was somewhat deranged in position。 That idea has now passed
away； the enemy having re…established his communications； regained
his positions； and actually received reinforcements。 It does not now
appear probable to me that you can gain anything by an early renewal
of the attempt to cross the Rappahannock。 I therefore shall not
complain if you do no more for a time than to keep the enemy at bay
and out of other mischief by menaces and occasional cavalry raids； if
practicable； and to put your own army in good condition again。
Still； if in your own clear judgment you can renew the attack
successfully； I do not mean to restrain you。 Bearing upon this last
point； I must tell you that I have some painful intimations that some
of your corps and division commanders are not giving you their entire
confidence。 This would be ruinous； if true； and you should
therefore； first of all； ascertain the real facts beyond all
possibility of doubt。
Yours truly；
A。 LINCOLN。
FACTIONAL QUARRELS
TELEGRAM TO H。 T。 BLOW AND OTHERS。
EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON； May 15； 1863。
HON。 H。 T。 BLOW； C。 D。 DRAKE； AND OTHERS； St。 Louis； Mo。：
Your despatch of to…day is just received。 It is very painful to me
that you in Missouri cannot or will not settle your factional quarrel
among yourselves。 I have been tormented with it beyond endurance for
months by both sides。 Neither side pays the least respect to my
appeals to your reason。 I am now compelled to take hold of the case。

TELEGRAM TO JAMES GUTHRIE。
WAR DEPARTMENT； WASHINGTON CITY； May 16； 1863。
HON。 JAMES GUTHRIE； Louisville； Ky。：
Your despatch of to…day is received。 I personally know nothing of
Colonel Churchill； but months ago and more than once he has been
represented to me as exerting a mischievous influence at Saint Louis；
for which reason I am unwilling to force his continuance there
against the judgment of our friends on the ground； but if it will
oblige you； he may come to and remain at Louisville upon taking the
oath of allegiance； and your pledge for his good behavior。
A。 LINCOLN。
TO SECRETARY OF WAR。
WAR DEPARTMENT； WASHINGTON CITY；
May 16； 1863。
HON。 SECRETARY OF WAR。
MY DEAR SIR：The commander of the Department at St。 Louis has
ordered several persons south of our military lines； which order is
not disapproved by me。 Yet at the special request of the HON。 James
Guthrie I have consented to one of the number； Samuel Churchill；
remaining at Louisville； Ky。； upon condition of his taking the oath
of allegiance and Mr。 Gutlirie's word of honor for his good behavior。
Yours truly；
A。 LINCOLN。

TELEGRAM TO GENERAL W。 S。 ROSECRANS。
WASHINGTON； May 20； 1863。
MAJOR…GENERAL ROSECRANS：
Yours of yesterday in regard to Colonel Haggard is received。 I am
anxious that you shall not misunderstand me。 In no case have I
intended to censure you or to question your ability。 In Colonel
Haggard's case I meant no more than to suggest that possibly you
might have been mistaken in a point that could ＇be＇ corrected。 I
frequently make mistakes myself in the many things I am compelled to
do hastily。

Late last night Fuller telegraphed you； as you say； that 〃the Stars
and Stripes float over Vicksburg and the victory is complete。〃 Did he
know what he said； or did he say it without knowing it？ Your
despatch of this afternoon throws doubt upon it。

TO GENERAL SCHOFIELD。
EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON
May 27； 1863。
GENERAL JOHN M。 SCHOFIELD。
MY DEAR SIR：Having relieved General Curtis and assigned you to the
command of the Department of the Missouri； I think it may be of some
advantage for me to state why I did it。 I did not relieve General
Curtis because of any full conviction that he had done wrong by
commission or omission。 I did it because of a conviction in my mind
that the Union men of Missouri； constituting； when united； a vast
majority of the whole people； have entered into a pestilent factional
quarrel among themselvesGeneral Curtis； perhaps not of choice；
being the head of one faction and Governor Gamble that of the other。
After months of labor to reconcile the difficulty； it seemed to grow
worse and worse； until I felt it my duty to break it up somehow； and
as I could not remove Governor Gamble； I had to remove General
Curtis。 Now that you are in the position； I wish you to undo nothing
merely because General Curtis or Governor Gamble did it； but to
exercise your own judgment； and do right for the public interest。
Let your military measures be strong enough to repel the invader and
keep the peac
