Did Lincoln mention troops and munitions in his message?

Yes he did. Didn't you read it? "...expect an attempt will be made to supply Fort-Sumpter with provisions only; and that, if such attempt be not resisted, no effort to throw in men, arms, or amunition, will be made, without further notice, or in case of an attack upon the Fort."

According to the “Official Records” and authors such as Klein, the Southern leaders suspected that Lincoln had ordered as many as 11 ships, several hundred soldiers, munitions, and war materiel to be sent to Southern ports.

Are you now admitting that Lincoln ordered that and sent last minute notice to the Governor of SC?
