General Mcclellan's Tired Horses Telegram To General G. B. Mcclellan. WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON CITY, October 24 [25?], 1862. MAJOR-GENERAL McCLELLAN: I have just read your despatch about sore-tongued and fatigued horses. Will you pardon me for asking what the horses of your army have done since the battle of Antietam that fatigues anything?
A. LINCOLN.
