Likely the same thing he did during the Treasury Scandal of 1864.

Looks like this could be an interesting book.

Gene, I would suggest going here.

I read some of this and the conclusion seems to be that this was "a tempest in a teapot." Read pages 97-99 of Michael Thomas Smith's book, "The Enemy Within," as I did.

President Lincoln would have liked that this Chapter 4 began with a quotation from Shakespeare:

Fear frames disorder, and disorder wounds
Where it should guard. O war, thou son of hell.
-- Henry VI, part 2
