Lamon: "Dear Sir — Enclosed is an extract from the New York World of September 9th, 1864, entitled, 'One of Mr. Lin- coln s Jokes/ " 'A few days after the battle of Antietam, while Presi- dent Lincoln was driving over the field in an ambulance, accompanied by Marshal Lamon, General McClellan and an- other officer, heavy details of men were engaged in the task of burying the dead. The ambulance ...had just reached the neighborhood of the old stone bridge, where the dead were piled highest, when Mr. Lincoln, suddenly slapping Marshal Lamon on the knee, exclaimed : 'Come, Lamon ! Give us that song about Picayune Butler ; McClellan has never heard it' 'Not now, if you please,' said McClellan, with a shudder. 'I would prefer hearing it at some other place and time.'
