Washington, D. C., June 14, 1863.3.50 P.M.,

Major-general Hooker: 

So far as we can make out here, the enemy have Muroy surrounded at Winchester, and Tyler at Martinsburg.  If they could hold out a few days, could you help them?  If the head of Lee’s army is at Martinsburg and the tail of it on the plank-road between Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, the animal must be very slim somewhere; could you not break him?

A. Lincoln.

TELEGRAM TO GENERAL R. C. SCHENCK.

Major-general Schenck: 

Get General Milroy from Winchester to Harper’s Ferry, if possible.  He will be “gobbled up” if he remains, if he is not already past salvation.

A. Lincoln,
President, United States.
