Telegram To General N. P. Banks. Washington, May 30, 1862. 10.15 A.M. MAJOR-GENERAL BANKS, Williamsport, Maryland, via Harper's Ferry: If the enemy in force is in or about Martinsburg, Charlestown, and Winchester, Or any or all of them, he may come in collision with Fremont, in which case I am anxious that your force, with you and at Harper's Ferry, should so operate as to a**ist Fremont if possible; the same if the enemy should engage McDowell. This was the meaning of my despatch yesterday. A. LINCOLN.
