PORTER'S HEADQUARTERS,
June 26, 1862--9
p.m.
Hon. E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War:
The firing has nearly ceased. I have nearly everything on
the way – impediments on the other side of the Chickahominy – and hope to be
ready for anything to-morrow.
Please see that Commodore Goldsborough complies promptly
with my request. Victory of to-day complete and against great odds.
I almost begin to think we are invincible.
GEO. B. McCLELLAN,
Major-General,
Commanding.
