Hoge, co-founder of the Sanitary Commission, tears at horizontal folds, endorsement panel lightly browned . A CO-FOUNDER OF THE SANITARY COMMISSION REQUESTS THAT HER SON BE PROMOTED TO GENERAL Lincoln passes along Mrs. Hoge's request without recommendation or comment: "Submitted to the Sec[retary] of War & Gen[eral]-in-Chief..." Not in Basler, and apparently unpublished. Mrs. Hoge, in her letter, asked the President "...to remember my son's name, George B.
