         <p> President Lincoln writes to Major
  General Franz Sigel about the tone of an earlier letter he had written to
  Sigel. Lincoln reveals that Brigadier General Carl Schurz "thinks I was a
  little cross in my late note to you." Lincoln apologizes and explains, "If I do
  get up a little temper I have no sufficient time to keep it up." Sigel recently
  complained that the President had slighted Sigel's comrade Brigadier General
  Julius Stahel. <bibl default='NO'>
