[Extract.]
Don't get to war with McClellan. You mistake him if you
underrate him. He must begin to move soon and I think he will. If he can
threaten Richmond and cause Johnston to fall back from Manassas, he will
relieve the Capital, which is the reason why foreign Governments talk of
acknowledging the Southern Independence.
