Brigadier General George G. Meade to Margaretta Sergeant Meade, September 6, 1862

WASHINGTON, September 6, 1862.

I have only time to send you a check and to say that I saw Seth Williams, and he says McClellan told him to remind him whenever any reorganization took place; or there was a chance to give me a division, I should have it. I also hear we are to be transferred to Porter's corps, and that both Pope and McDowell are relieved of their commands. Everything is in confusion at present and none can tell what will come of it.
