The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VI (Chap. 2.10) lyrics
by Abraham Lincoln
To General H. W. Halleck.
Executive Mansion, Washington January 7, 1863.
MAJOR-GENERAL HALLECK.
MY DEAR SIR:—What think you of forming a reserve cavalry corps of, say, 6000 for the Army of the Potomac? Might not such a corps be constituted from the cavalry of Sigel's and Sloc*m's corps, with scraps we could pick up here and there?
Yours truly,
A. LINCOLN.
