Annotation

[1] ALS, RPB. McClellan's telegram of 4 P.M., June 5, reads as follows: ``May I again invite your Excellency's attention to the great importance of occupying Chatanooga and Dalton, by our Western forces. The evacuation of Corinth would appear to render this very easy. The importance of this move in force cannot be exaggerated.'' (DLC-RTL). See Lincoln to McClellan, June 7, infra.
