Note 146 — Chapter V · GOVERNOR SEYMOUR AND PRESIDENT LINCOLN 1863
Reading edition
James B. Fry, New York and the Conscription, p. 14. "Seymour showed his lack of executive ability by not filling up the quota of New York by volunteers in less than a month after the Conscription Act was passed. This a clever executive could easily have done and so avoided all trouble."—New York Herald, September 11, 1863.
