Major-General Henry W. Halleck to Elizabeth Hamilton Halleck, January 15, 1862

ST. Louis, Jan. 15, 1862.
MY DEAR * * * *

I am very sorry to hear that Mr. Stanton succeeds Mr. Cameron as Sect'y of War. I was in hopes that Mr. Holt would be appointed. Mr. Stanton does not like me, and of course will take the first opportunity he can to injure me. I shall take my precautions accordingly so as not to give him a chance. * * *

H. W. H.
