On July 12, 1862, President Lincoln decided that he would confidentially inform Secretaries Seward and Welles of his decision to issue an emancipation proclamation. His plans were to present a draft of his document to a special session of the cabinet on July 22nd. Both men were his most trusted cabinet members and they treated Lincoln's draft as being strictly confidential.
