[Office of John Hopper,
New York, New York, August 7, 1862]
I am safely here, and have met General Doubleday. He is
rather too lymphatic for a general, but for all that may be the best man to be
had. He is yet in doubt as to his course; is afraid that the War Department
would not give him the command. I shall probably get useful information and
hear some history from him about McClellan and others. If so you shall have it.
