twenty…eighth　day　of　June；　I　have　decided　to　call　into　the　service　an

additional　force　of　300；000　men。　　I　suggest　and　recommend　that　the

troops　should　be　chiefly　of　infantry。　　The　quota　of　your　State　would

be　______　　。　　I　trust　that　they　may　be　enrolled　without　delay；　so　as

to　bring　this　unnecessary　and　injurious　civil　war　to　a　speedy　and

satisfactory　conclusion。　　An　order　fixing　the　quotas　of　the

respective　States　will　be　issued　by　the　War　Department　to…morrow。

TELEGRAM　TO　GENERAL　McCLELLAN。



WASHINGTON；　JULY　1；1862。　　　3。30　P。M。



MAJOR…GENERAL　GEORGE　B。　McCLELLAN：



It　is　impossible　to　reinforce　you　for　your　present　emergency。　　If　we

had　a　million　of　men；　We　could　not　get　them　to　you　in　time。　　We　have

not　the　men　to　send。　　　If　you　are　not　strong　enough　to　face　the

enemy；　you　must　find　a　place　of　security；　and　wait；　rest；　and　repair。

Maintain　your　ground　if　you　can；　but　save　the　army　at　all　events；

even　if　you　fall　back　to　Fort　Monroe。　　We　still　have　strength　enough

in　the　country；　and　will　bring　it　out。



A。　LINCOLN。









TO　GENERAL　G。　B。　McCLELLAN。

WAR　DEPARTMENT；　WASHINGTON；　D。C。；　July　2；　1862。



MAJOR…GENERAL　McCLELLAN：



Your　despatch　of　Tuesday　morning　induces　me　to　hope　your　army　is

having　some　rest。　　In　this　hope　allow　me　to　reason　with　you　a　moment。

When　you　ask　for　50；000　men　to　be　promptly　sent　you；　you　surely　labor

under　some　gross　mistake　of　fact。　　Recently　you　sent　papers　showing

your　disposal　of　forces　made　last　spring　for　the　defense　of

WASHINGTON；　and　advising　a　return　to　that　plan。　　I　find　it　included

in　and　about　WASHINGTON　75；000　men。　　Now；　please　be　assured　I　have

not　men　enough　to　fill　that　very　plan　by　15；000。　　All　of　Fremont's　in

the　valley；　all　of　Banks's；　all　of　McDowell's　not　with　you；　and　all

in　WASHINGTON；　taken　together；　do　not　exceed；　if　they　reach；　60；000。

With　Wool　and　Dix　added　to　those　mentioned；　I　have　not；　outside　of

your　army；　75；000　men　east　of　the　mountains。　　Thus　the　idea　of

sending　you　50；000；　or　any　other　considerable　force；　promptly；　is

simply　absurd。　　If；　in　your　frequent　mention　of　responsibility；　you

have　the　impression　that　I　blame　you　for　not　doing　more　than　you　can；

please　be　relieved　of　such　impression。　　I　only　beg　that　in　like

manner　you　will　not　ask　impossibilities　of　me。　　　If　you　think　you　are

not　strong　enough　to　take　Richmond　just　now；　I　do　not　ask　you　to　try

just　now。　　Save　the　army；　material　and　personal；　and　I　will

strengthen　it　for　the　offensive　again　as　fast　as　I　can。　　The

governors　of　eighteen　States　offer　me　a　new　levy　of　300；000；　which　I

accept。

TELEGRAM　TO　GENERAL　H。　W。　HALLECK。



WASHINGTON；　D。C。　July　2；　1862。



MAJOR…GENERAL　HALLECK；　Corinth；　Mississippi：



Your　several　despatches　of　yesterday　to　Secretary　of　War　and　myself

received。　　　I　did　say；　and　now　repeat；　I　would　be　exceedingly　glad

for　some　reinforcements　from　you。　　Still　do　not　send　a　man　if　in　your

judgment　it　will　endanger　any　point　you　deem　important　to　hold；　or

will　force　you　to　give　up　or　weaken　or　delay　the　Chattanooga

expedition。



Please　tell　me　could　you　not　make　me　a　flying　visit　for　consultation

without　endangering　the　Service　in　your　department。



A。　LINCOLN。









MESSAGE　TO　THE　SENATE。



EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　July　2；　1862。



TO　THE　SENATE　OF　THE　UNITED　STATES：



I　herewith　return　to　your　honorable　body；　in　which　it　originated；　an

act　entitled　〃An　act　to　provide　for　additional　medical　officers　of

the　volunteer　service；〃　without　my　approval。



My　reason　for　so　doing　is　that　I　have　approved　an　act　of　the　same

title　passed　by　Congress　after　the　passage　of　the　one　first　mentioned

for　the　express　purpose　of　correcting　errors　in　and　superseding　the

same；　as　I　am　informed。

（Private　and　Confidential。）



WAR　DEPARTMENT；　July　3；　1862。10。30　A。M。



GOVERNOR　WASHBURN；　Maine　＇and　other　governors＇　I　should　not　want　the

half　of　300；000　new　troops　if　I　could　have　them　now。　　If　I　had　50；000

additional　troops　here　now；　I　believe　I　could　substantially　close　the

war　in　two　weeks。　　But　time　is　everything；　and　if　I　get　5
