Edwin Stanton to Major-General Halleck, April 23, 1862

WAR DEPARTMENT, April 23, 1862.

The President desires to know why you have made no official report to this Department respecting the late battle at Pittsburg Landing, and whether any neglect or misconduct of General Grant or any other officer contributed to the sad casualties that befell our forces on Sunday.

EDWIN M. STANTON,       
Secretary of War.
Major-General HALLECK, Pittsburg Landing.
