TELEGRAM TO GENERAL HOOKER.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, March 13, 1863.
MAJOR-GENERAL HOOKER:
General Stahel wishes to be assigned to General Heintzelman and General Heintzelman also desires it. I would like to oblige both if it would not injure the service in your army, or incommode you. What say you?
A. LINCOLN. [ [!-- H2 anchor --] ]
