WASHINGTON, D.C.,
October 14, 1862.
Major-general McCLELLAN:
Your telegram of 7 p.m., yesterday, is just received. As I
have already informed you, the Government has been, and is, making every
possible effort to increase the cavalry force. Remounts are sent to you as
rapidly as they can be procured. The President has read your telegram, and
directs me to suggest that, if the enemy had more occupation south of the
river, his cavalry would not be so likely to make raids north of it.
H. W. HALLECK,
General-in- Chief.
