Telegram To General Fremont Washington, May 29, 1862. 12 M. MAJOR-GENERAL FREMONT, Moorefield, Virginia: General McDowell's advance, if not checked by the enemy, should, and probably will, be at Front Royal by twelve (noon) to-morrow. His force, when up, will be about 20,000. Please have your force at Strasburg, or, if the route you are moving on does not lead to that point, as near Strasburg as the enemy may be by the same time. Your despatch No.30 received and satisfactory. A. LINCOLN.
