Brigadier General Don Carlos Buell to Abraham Lincoln, January 1, 1862

LOUISVILLE, KY., January 1, 1862.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President:

There is no arrangement between General Halleck and myself. I have been informed by General McClellan that he would make suitable disposition for concerted action. There is nothing to prevent Bowling Green being re-enforced from Columbus if a military force is not brought to bear on the latter place.

 D.C. BUELL,
 Brigadier-General.
