WHITE HOUSE, Va., [May]
17.
To Edward M. Stanton,
Sec’y of war:
The combined army and naval expedition went some 25 miles up
Pamunkey river to-day, and forced the rebels to destroy two steamers and some
20 schooners. The expedition was
admirably managed. We have advanced
considerably to-day. The roads are
improving.

G. B. McCLELLAN.
