    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[J.B. McPherson et. al. to Lincoln protesting the assignment of Surgeon Alexander Augusta. Claim their commitment to &quot;bettering&quot; Black Americans but assert that it is beneath their dignity to serve with him as their superior officer. A subsequent letter from one of them, Asst. Surgeon Joel Morse of the 7th USCT, implores Senator John Sherman &quot;to right this wrong, which to my mind is grave, unjust, and humiliating.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
