The Secretary of War called on me in reference to Genl.
McClellan. He has long believed and so have I, that Genl. McClellan ought not
to be trusted with the command of any army of the Union; and the events of the
last few days have greatly strengthened our judgment. We called on Judge Bates,
who was not at home. Called on Genl. Halleck, and remonstrated against Gen.
McClellan commanding. Secy, wrote & presented to Genl. H. a call for a
report touching McC's disobedience of orders & consequent delay of support
to Army of Va. Genl. H. promised answer to-morrow morning.
