- Hamilton Rowan Gamble Papers | Letter signed H.R. Gamble, Washington, to Abraham Lincoln. I made a proposal to you to raise a force of State Militia to cooperate with troops in the service of the United States in suppressing insurrection and repelling invasion of the State of Missouri. You accepted the proposal. A question has now arisen between the War Department and myself whether the force thus raised is a State force or is a United States force. [Details.] Individuals mentioned include General Halleck, Mr. Bates. Subjects mentioned include The War Department. Places mentioned include Missouri, St. Louis.
