- Hamilton Rowan Gamble Papers | Letter signed C. Gibson, Atty. Gen.’s House, to Gov. Gamble [His uncle]. Was told yesterday by Stanton that he could not give them money, arms or materials, but Chase is on their side and will pay over the money if Stanton will send in the requisition. Says that Gen. Halleck’s letter to him [Gamble] was intended as an answer to the demand of the Abolition Governors who have been demanding the right to appoint the Generals over forces now in the Federal service from their respective states. Hopes he [Gamble] will keep quiet until he {Gibson] returns. A postscript says that Stanton has agreed to sign the requisition. Individuals mentioned include Stanton, Chase, Gen. Halleck.
