Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VI (Chap. 2.145) lyrics

Telegram To General Hooker. Washington, June 16, 1863.10 P.M. MAJOR-GENERAL HOOKER: To remove all misunderstanding, I now place you in the strict military relation to General Halleck of a commander of one of the armies to the general-in-chief of all the armies. I have not intended differently, but as it seems to be differently understood I shall direct him to give you orders and you to obey them. A. LINCOLN.
