Telegram To General G. E. Mcclellan. Washington, May 21, 1862. Major-General McCLELLAN: I have just been waited on by a large committee who present a petition signed by twenty-three senators and eighty-four representatives asking me to restore General Hamilton to his division. I wish to do this, and yet I do not wish to be understood as rebuking you. Please answer at once.
A. LINCOLN.
