It is obvious to all that I therein intended to give time and
opportunity。 Also； it is seen I left myself at liberty to exempt
parts of States。 Without saying more； I shall be very glad if any
Congressional
district will； in good faith； do as your despatch contemplates。
Could you give me the facts which prompted you to telegraph？
Yours very truly；
A。 LINCOLN。
TELEGRAM TO GENERAL G。 B。 McCLELLAN。
EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON； October 27； 1862； 12。10
MAJOR…GENERAL McCLELLAN：
Yours of yesterday received。 Most certainly I intend no injustice to
any； and if I have done any I deeply regret it。 To be told； after
more than five weeks' total inaction of the army； and during which
period we have sent to the army every fresh horse we possibly could；
amounting in the whole to 7918； that the cavalry horses were too much
fatigued to move； presents a very cheerless； almost hopeless；
prospect for the future； and it may have forced something of
impatience in my despatch。 If not recruited and rested then； when
could they ever be？ I suppose the river is rising； and I am glad to
believe you are crossing。

TELEGRAM TO GENERAL G。 B。 McCLELLAN。
EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON； October 27； 1862。 3。25pm
MAJOR…GENERAL McCLELLAN：
Your despatch of 3 P。M。 to…day； in regard to filling up old regiments
with drafted men； is received； and the request therein shall be
complied with as far as practicable。
And now I ask a distinct answer to the question； Is it your purpose
not to go into action again until the men now being drafted in the
States are incorporated into the old regiments？

TELEGRAM TO GENERAL G。 B。 McCLELLAN。
EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON； October 29； 1863。
MAJOR…GENERAL McCLELLAN：
Your despatches of night before last； yesterday； and last night all
received。 I am much pleased with the movement of the army。 When you
get entirely across the river let me know。 What do you know of the
enemy？

TELEGRAM TO GOVERNOR CURTIN。
EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON； October 30； 1862。
GOVERNOR CURTIN； Harrisburg：
By some means I have not seen your despatch of the 27th about order
No。154 until this moment。 I now learn； what I knew nothing of
before； that the history of the order is as follows：
When General McClellan telegraphed asking General Halleck to have the
order made； General Halleck went to the Secretary of War with it；
stating his approval of the plan。 The Secretary assented and General
Halleck wrote the order。 It was a military question； which the
Secretary supposed the General understood better than he。
I wish I could see Governor Curtin。

TELEGRAM TO GOVERNOR JOHNSON。
WAR DEPARTMENT； October 31； 1862。
GOV。 ANDREW JOHNSON； Nashville； Tenn。； via Louisville； Ky。：
Yours of the 29th received。 I shall take it to General Halleck； but
I already know it will be inconvenient to take General Morgan's
command from where it now is。 I am glad to hear you speak hopefully
of Tennessee。 I sincerely hope Rosecrans may find it possible to do
something for her。 David Nelson； son of the M。 C。 of your State；
regrets his father's final defection； and asks me for a situation。
Do you know him？ Could he be of service to you or to Tennessee in
any capacity in which I could send him？
