WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington, June 12, 1863—11.30 a.m.
Major-General GRANT, Via Memphis, Tenn.:
I hope you fully appreciate the importance of time in the reduction of Vicksburg. The large re-enforcements sent to you have opened Missouri and Kentucky to rebel raids. The siege should be pushed night and day with all possible dispatch.
H. W. HALLECK,
General-in- Chief.
