From Gen. McClellan

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAC, April 28.

– Hon. E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War

Nothing of interest has transpired during the night; no firing on the right, where the work was interrupted; have erected a heavy siege battery to silence a gun or two of the enemy, that have been impertinent this morning, but hurt no one. The weather has improved, and we are making good progress.

(Signed)

GEO. B. McCLELLAN,
Maj. Gen. Com’g.
