At 9 A.M. President reads to cabinet opinion on military draft. 
[There is question as to when Lincoln prepared this opinion.
Nicolay &amp; Hay dates it 15 August 1863; <title corresp='books_Basler2'>CW</title> dates it 14 
September 1863.]  Sec. Chase thinks preferable way to prevent courts from interfering 
with draft is for President by proclamation to suspend privilege of 
writ of habeas corpus in military or naval cases. Proposal wins 
approval. Cabinet adjourns at 1 P.M. Sec. Seward prepares 
proclamation and presents it when cabinet reconvenes. All agree and 
order it carried into effect.

In view of Gen. Meade's dispatch to Gen. Halleck, Lincoln writes 
Halleck that he would not order, or even advise, Gen. Meade to 
advance. He points out, however, that Gen. R. E. Lee has only 60,000 
men to keep Meade out of Richmond, while Meade has 90,000 to keep Lee 
out of Washington. Lincoln is opposed to any "attempt to fight the 
enemy slowly back into his intrenchments at Richmond, and there to 
capture him. . . . I have constantly desired the Army of the Potomac, 
to make Lee's army, and not Richmond, it's objective point."
