[June 3, 1861]
After all the Mississippi River is the hardest and most
important task of the war, and I know of no one competent, unless it be
McClellan. But as soon as real war begins, new men, heretofore unheard of, will
emerge from obscurity, equal to any occasion. Only I think it is to be a long
war, — very long, — much longer than any politician thinks.
