  to Attorney General Edward Bates regarding a communication from Missouri's
  provisional Governor Hamilton R. Gamble. Gamble asked Lincoln whether the state
  or the federal government controls the troops that Gamble "raised." Lincoln
  writes, "Instead of settling one dispute by deciding the question, I should
  merely furnish a nest full of eggs for hatching new disputes." Lincoln
  concludes, "[T]he offer of the Secretary of War to let Gov. Gamble make
  vacancies, and he, the Secretary, to ratify the making of them, ought to be
  satisfactory." <bibl default='NO'> Hamilton R. Gamble to Abraham Lincoln, 31
