LINCOLN GRANTS PERMISSION FOR AN AUNT TO VISIT HER NEPHEW, A PRISONER. Price appeals to the President on behalf of "the bearer, Mrs. Cinnamond of this City," whose nephew, Capt. Gordon, is "a prisoner at Fort McHenry. She asks the favor of being permitted to visit her nephew & furnish such articles of apparel as may be proper for his health and comfort." Price vouches that "whatever instructions & limitations may be annexed to her communications with the prisoner, will be faithfully kept by her."
On the back, Lincoln writes: "Officer in command at Baltimore may allow Mrs. Cinnamond such privileges in regard to the prisoner named as he may deem consistent with the entire security of the prisoner." Beneath is a brief note of Brig. Genl. Henry A. Lockwood, Baltimore, 4 March: "Comdng. Officer at Fort McHenry will respect the above under the limitations prescribed." Not in R.P. Basler or Supplements and apparently unpublished.
