[1] ALS, RPB. Goldsborough replied at 3:30 P.M., ``I beg to acknowledge receipt of your telegram to-day. I knew of General McClellan's position last night, and sent up orders for gun-boats to go up Chickahominy to protect the general's left flank and guard vessels with supplies. General Dix and myself will do everything in our power to communicate with General McClellan and to keep a communication with him open up the James River.'' (OR, I, XI, III, 270).
