To provision the garrison but not reinforce it.
Lincoln's decision to send supplies to Fort Sumter was difficult because it risked escalating tensions between the Union and the Confederacy. On one hand, resupplying the fort could be seen as a provocation, potentially igniting conflict; on the other hand, failing to do so could be interpreted as abandoning federal property and authority. He had to balance the need to uphold the Union's integrity while avoiding war, making the decision fraught with political and military implications. Ultimately, this choice set the stage for the Civil War.

Yes, Robert Anderson was the Union Army officer in command of Fort Sumter at the outbreak of the Civil War. He is best known for his role in the first battle of Fort Sumter, which began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces fired on the fort. Anderson's decision to surrender the fort after a two-day bombardment marked the beginning of the conflict between the North and South.

Before. It was Lincoln's decision to resupply the fort. When he informed the South that he was resupplying it, they attacked Fort Sumter!
