suggesting d movement threatSning Washington

vicinity force enough to make Il rash to attempt
It dange.opsi only what he has on this side need
be considered.
You cannot, in your present position, employ
such an army as yours upon any enterprise not
either by preventing the reinforcements TO Nc
Clellan's army, or by drawing troops from Il by
divisions. These objects might be accomplished
by the demonstrations proposed above, or by q
movement upon Mcdowell. although fear that
by the time this reaches you II will be TOO late
for either. The most important service you can
render the country IL the preventing the further
STRENGTHENING OF McClellan's army. IL you find
II too late for that strike the most Important body
OF the enemy you can reach. You compel me to
publish orders announcing your success 30 often
that you must expect repetition Of expressions.
