Abraham Lincoln actually said...

"Any failure to observe this order will be taken as a forfeiture of the parole or exchange."

"That all applications to go south across the military lines of the United States be made to Major-General John A. Dix, commanding at Baltimore, who will grant or refuse the same at his discretion."

"The regulation heretofore existing which required passes across the military lines of the United States to be signed by the Secretary of State and countersigned by the General Commanding is rescinded."

"I therefore recommend that seasonable provision be made to enable the Executive to carry this stipulation into effect."
