Apr. 10. To Benjamin F. Butler, Hay for Lincoln, making appointment for ``tomorrow,''

There is no evidence I've seen that Butler and President Lincoln even met in this time frame. The size of the fonts you use won't change that.

Then you are either blind or a liar. Hay's memo documents a meeting scheduled at EXACTLY the same time Butler claimed.
