Annotation

[1] Copy, DLC-Fitz-John Porter Papers. Major General John G. Parke was Burnside's chief of staff. Burnside replied at 7:55 A.M., ``Telegram received. Two brigades of Porter's corps arrived, with [Erastus B.] Tyler's heavy artillery, of over forty pieces. A large number of steamers in sight below Aquia. Will telegraph what troops are on board as soon as I learn. Over 6,000 troops were landed yesterday and I hope double that will be landed to-day. All that I can't land here at once I will send to Alexandria.'' (OR, I, XII, III, 613).
