Telegram To General I. Mcdowell.
Washington, May 30, 1862. 10 A.M.
MAJOR-GENERAL McDOWELL, Mana**as Junction:
I somewhat apprehend that Fremont's force, in its present condition, may not be quite strong enough in case it comes in collision with the enemy. For this additional reason I wish you to push forward your column as rapidly as possible. Tell me what number your force reaching Front Royal will amount to.
A. LINCOLN.
