TO　GENERAL　H。　W。　HALLECK。



EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　WASHINGTON；

September　13；　1863。



MAJOR…GENERAL　HALLECK：



If　I　did　not　misunderstand　General　Meade's　last　despatch；　he　posts

you　on　facts　as　well　as　he　can；　and　desires　your　views　and　those　of

the　Government　as　to　what　he　shall　do。　　My　opinion　is　that　he　should

move　upon　Lee　at　once　in　manner　of　general　attack；　leaving　to

developments　whether　he　will　make　it　a　real　attack。　　I　think　this

would　develop　Lee's　real　condition　and　purposes　better　than　the

cavalry　alone　can　do。　　Of　course　my　opinion　is　not　to　control　you　and

General　Meade。



Yours　truly；



A。　LINCOLN。

HON。　ANDREW　JOHNSON。



MY　DEAR　SIR：Herewith　I　send　you　a　paper；　substantially　the　same　as

the　one　drawn　up　by　yourself　and　mentioned　in　your　despatch；　but

slightly　changed　in　two　particulars：　First；　yours　was　so　drawn　as

that　I　authorized　you　to　carry　into　effect　the　fourth　section；　etc。；

whereas　I　so　modify　it　as　to　authorize　you　to　so　act　as　to　require

the　United　States　to　carry　into　effect　that　section。



Secondly；　you　had　a　clause　committing　me　in　some　sort　to　the　State

constitution　of　Tennessee；　which　I　feared　might　embarrass　you　in

making　a　new　constitution；　if　you　desire；　so　I　dropped　that　clause。



Yours　very　truly；



A。　LINCOLN。

loyal　people　of　Tennessee　to　present　such　a　republican　form　of　State

government　as　will　entitle　the　State　to　the　guaranty　of　the　United

States　therefor；　and　to　be　protected　under　such　State　government　by

ABRAHAM　LINCOLN









MILITARY　STRATEGY



TO　GENERAL　H。　W。　HALLECK

EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　WASHINGTON　D。C。

September　19；　1863。



MAJOR…GENERAL　HALLECK：



By　General　Meade's　despatch　to　you　of　yesterday　it　appears　that　he

desires　your　views　and　those　of　the　government　as　to　whether　he　shall

advance　upon　the　enemy。　　I　am　not　prepared　to　order；　or　even　advise；

an　advance　in　this　case；　wherein　I　know　so　little　of　particulars；　and

wherein　he；　in　the　field；　thinks　the　risk　is　so　great　and　the　promise

of　advantage　so　small。



And　yet　the　case　presents　matter　for　very　serious　consideration　in

another　aspect。　　These　two　armies　confront　each　other　across　a　small

river；　substantially　midway　between　the　two　capitals；　each　defending

its　own　capital；　and　menacing　the　other。　　　General　Meade　estimates

the　enemy's　infantry　in　front　of　him　at　not　less　than　40；000。

Suppose　we　add　fifty　per　cent。　to　this　for　cavalry；　artillery；　and

extra…duty　men　stretching　as　far　as　Richmond；　making　the　whole　force

of　the　enemy　60；000。



General　Meade；　as　shown　by　the　returns；　has　with　him；　and　between　him

and　Washington；　of　the　same　classes；　of　well　men；　over　90；000。

Neither　can　bring　the　whole　of　his　men　into　a　battle；　but　each　can

bring　as　large　a　percentage　in　as　the　other。　　For　a　battle；　then；

General　Meade　has　three　men　to　General　Lee's　two。　　Yet；　it　having

been　determined　that　choosing　ground　and　standing　on　the　defensive

gives　so　great　advantage　that　the　three　cannot　safely　attack　the　two；

the　three　are　left　simply　standing　on　the　defensive　also。



If　the　enemy's　60；000　are　sufficient　to　keep　our　90；000　away　from

Richmond；　why；　by　the　same　rule；　may　not　40；000　of　ours　keep　their

60；000　away　from　Washington；　leaving　us　50；000　to　put　to　some　other

use？　　Having　practically　come　to　the　mere　defensive；　it　seems　to　be

no　economy　at　all　to　employ　twice　as　many　men　for　that　object　as　are

needed。　　With　no　object；　certainly；　to　mislead　myself；　I　can　perceive

no　fault　in　this　statement；　unless　we　admit　we　are　not　the　equal　of

the　enemy；　man　for　man。　　I　hope　you　will　consider　it。



To　avoid　misunderstanding；　let　me　say　that　to　attempt　to　fight　the

enemy　slowly　back　into　his　entrenchments　at　Richmond；　and　then　to

capture　him；　is　an　idea　I　have　been　trying　to　repudiate　for　quite　a

year。



My　judgment　is　so　clear　against　it　that　I　would　scarcely　allow　the

attempt　to　be　made　if　the　general　in　command　should　desire　to　make

it。　　My　last　attempt　upon　Richmond　was　to　get　McClellan；　when　he　was

nearer　there　than　the　enemy　was；　to　run　in　ahead　of　him。　　　Since　then

I　have　constantly　d
