WAR DEPARTMENT, May 24,
1862 – 7.15 p.m.
Major-General FRÉMONT,
Franklin, Va.:
Many thanks for the promptness with which you have answered
that you will execute the order. Much – perhaps all – depends upon the celerity
with which you can execute it. Put the utmost speed into it. Do not lose a
minute.
A. LINCOLN.
