Annotation

[1] ALS, RPB. Isaac Wayne McVeagh, chairman of the Pennsylvania Union Committee, acknowledged Lincoln's telegram the same day: ``Am thankful for your kind thoughtfulness. God is good, in delaying Lees advance until it is harmless to the cause here. McClellans letter for Woodward cannot harm us much now. All the indications are cheering. Will advise you later in afternoon. May I hope to hear from you again.'' (DLC-RTL). By 10:45 P.M., McVeagh telegraphed again, ``Everything most cheering but no definite returns yet.'' (Ibid.).
