Hon. Joseph Holt Washington, D.C.
My dear Sir: Nov. 12. 1861
Yours of the 2nd., written at Louisville, never reached me till yesterday, and Gen McClellan had already so nearly completed his plans for the Departments of the West, and of the Cumberland, that I could scarcely ask him to re-arrange them. Halleck goes to St. Louis, and Buell goes to Louisville.2Open page Sherman's wishes are being consulted, & I hope & believe he will be placed not unsatisfactorily to himself.3Open page
You are not mistaken in supposing I am gratified extremely by the excellent conduct of your general at Camp Wildcat.

You have with you my good friend Judge David Davis; and allow [me] to assure you, you were never associated with a better man. Please present him my respects. Yours very truly
A. LINCOLN
