Annotation
[1] ALS-IHi. Hooker proposed to Halleck in a telegram of 7 P.M., June 13, that he transfer operations from the line of Aquia Creek to the Orange and Alexandria Railroad (OR, I, XXVII, I, 38). His telegram to Lincoln of 11:15 P.M., June 14, is as follows: ``Has anything further been heard from Winchester? Will the President allow me to inquire if it is his opinion that Winchester is surrounded by the rebel forces? I make this inquiry for the reason that General [Isaac R.] Trimble was recently assigned, in orders, to the command of that district, and it is not known what command he had. . . . I do not feel like making a move for an enemy until I am satisfied as to his whereabouts. . . . With this feeling, unless otherwise directed, I feel it my duty to execute the movement indicated on yesterday. . . .'' (Ibid., pp. 39-40).
