1. Letter from Catharine Myers to Abraham Lincoln, Forwarded to Thaddeus Stevens

Description:
This letter from Catherine Myers to Abraham Lincoln requests that her son be discharged from the army. Lincoln forwarded the letter to Thaddeus Stevens, who approved the discharge. Lincoln was regularly sent requests for discharges and pardons. This can be seen in the last section of this item, where Lincoln initially wrote "Pardon," but then crossed it out and wrote "Discharged."
