March 7, 1863

According to appointment I had a talk with Gen. Fremont last evening. I promised to try to have him told something definite by this evening. Please see Gen. Halleck to-day; and if you can get him half agreed, I agree.

Annotation

[1] Stan. V. Henkels Catalog 1243, October 22, 1919, No. 311. According to the catalog description, this communication is an autograph letter signed. No reply from Stanton has been located. The proposed new command for Fremont did not materialize, reportedly because of Halleck's opposition, and on March 17, Fremont left Washington for New York highly disgruntled (New York Tribune, March 18, 1863).
