Major General Henry W. Halleck to Abraham Lincoln, January 1, 1862

SAINT Louis, Mo., January 1, 1862.

To His Excellency ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President:

I have never received a word from General Buell. I am not ready to co-operate with him. Hope to do so in few weeks. Have written fully on this subject to Major-General McClellan. Too much haste will ruin everything.

 H. W. HALLECK,
 Major-General.
