Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VI (Chap. 1.71) lyrics

Telegram To General G. B. Mcclellan. Washington, June 19, 1862 MAJOR-GENERAL McCLELLAN: Yours of last night just received, and for which I thank you. If large reinforcements are going from Richmond to Jackson, it proves one of two things: either they are very strong at Richmond, or do not mean to defend the place desperately. On reflection, I do not see how reinforcements from Richmond to Jackson could be in Gordonsville, as reported by the Frenchman and your deserters. Have not all been sent to deceive? A. LINCOLN.
