Abraham Lincoln to Brigadier General Don Carlos Buell, January 7, 1862

WASHINGTON, January 7, 1862.
Brig. Gen. D.C. BUELL, Louisville:

Please name as early a day as you safely can on or before which you can be ready to move southward in concert with Major-General Halleck. Delay is ruining us, and it is indispensable for me to have something definite. I send a like dispatch to Major-General Halleck.

 A. LINCOLN.
