“ Yes, I can see them: It is odd that they match up (well, #5 doesn't) , but probably just a coincidence. Probably the reason why the March 10 was mentioned as an alternate #1 though. According to the Donnelly listing, the Proc 278 1/2 you mention was also Executive Order 25. Same is mentioned here. But yes, the three Lincoln EOs I put on the reference page I pulled from the cato.org PDF linked higher up the page, and they deem the March 10 one to be 1-A and to be one of the three (they took it right from the 1970s Congressional book also linked, which calls it 1A) . ”

“ Numbered Procs. always seem to have the part about the seal [L.s.] or [L.S.] or [SEAL.] I'm guessing 3/10/1863 is technically an un-numbered Proc. not an EO, but what is EO 1-A in 1863 then? George Orwell III (talk) 08:41, 20 March 2010 (UTC) Not sure... I haven't found much on that one yet. Will try to search more. There is going to be a lot of messy stuff with pre-1907 EOs and proclamations, as the numbering will be completely hit-or-miss, and things like the accepted form for executive orders really wasn't nailed down until a lot later. ”

“ The 1944 book has EO 2, 3, and 4 matching that Volume 13 link, yes. EO 5 is apparently sometime in 1866, regarding closing of public offices on April 14, the first anniversary of Lincoln's assassination. ”

“ Hopefully time will just dis-intrest him enough to make 'this' go away. I keep saying "... well get involved", but they never seem to. Thanks, as always, for the feedback CL. George Orwell III (talk) 03:07, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
