WASHINGTON CITY,
D.C.,
June 1, 1862
– 9.30.
Major-General McCLELLAN:
You are probably engaged with the enemy. I suppose he made
the attack. Stand well on your guard, hold all your ground, or yield any only
inch by inch and in good order. This morning we merge General Wool's department
into yours, giving you command of the whole, and sending General Dix to Fort
Monroe and General Wool to Fort McHenry. We also send General Sigel to report
to you for duty.
A. LINCOLN.
