Gen. Saxton Washington City, D.C.
Harper's Ferry May 25, 1862. 6.50 P.M.

One good six-gun battery, complete in it's men and appointments, is now on it's way to you from Baltimore. Eleven other guns of different sorts are on their way to you from here. Hope they will all reach you before morning.

As you have but twentyfive hundred men at Harper's Ferry, where are the rest which were in that vicinity, and which we have sent forward? Have any of them be[en] cut off?

A. LINCOLN
