Abraham Lincoln to J. K. DuBois, September 15, 1862 – 3 p.m.

WASHINGTON, D. C., September 15, 1862 3 p.m.
Hon. J. K. DuBOIS,  Springfield, Ill.:

I now consider it safe to say that General McClellan has gained a great victory over the great rebel army in Maryland, between Fredericktown and Hagerstown. He is now pursuing the flying foe.

 A. LINCOLN.
