Hon. Sec. of War. Executive Mansion,
Sir--- Washington, Aug. 6. 1862.

After the late battles before Richmond, we promoted Gen. Israel B. Richardson to be a Major General. He wishes that Gen. French may be assigned to his old Division; and that he may be assigned to a new Division from Michigan, which he thinks he can bring forward faster than any one else, & which I think is probable. You and Gen. Halleck must decide these things. Yours &c
