Received your telegram to-day. But am sure if you do not act
immediately and appoint a commander-in-chief to take charge, it will be too
late. Act quickly, now, or I shall be compelled to act. Send your Commissioners
on to Washington now, right off, and telegraph me, or it will be beyond your
control. Things look bad in Washington.
