Washington, August 31,
1862 – 10.7 p.m.
Since receiving your dispatch, relating to command, I have
not been able to, answer any not of absolute necessity. I have not seen the
order as published, but will write to you in the morning. You will retain the
command of everything in this vicinity not temporarily belonging to Pope's army
in the field.
I beg of you to assist me in this crisis with your ability
and experience. I am utterly tired out.
H. W. HALLECK,
General-in-Chief.
General McCLELLAN.
