``Cypher''
Gen. Tyler--- Washington, D.C.,
Martinsburg. June 14 1863

Is Milroy invested, so that he can not fall back to Harper's Ferry? A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] ALS, RPB. Tyler replied at 3 P.M., ``General Milroy is in a tight place. If he gets out, it will be by good luck and hard fighting. Not a straggler from his army is yet in; it is neck or nothing. We are besieged here; have had a little skirmish. I imagine our rebel friends are waiting for grub and artillery.'' (OR, XXVII, II, 174).
