Abstract:
"I have received for the Secretary of War [Simon Cameron] the explanations which do justice to the whole matter General Scott has also written to Col. Sherman."

Lincoln and Seward: "We think the safety of the Country and the honor of the service require the 69th to review contents in their camp and defend the fortifications . . . We shall . . . bear full testimony to the gallantry . . . of the 69th."
