To Daniel Tyler1Jump to section

Gen. Tyler, War Department Washington City,
Harper's Ferry. June 15. 8/45. P.M 1863.

It would be useful, if we could tell Hooker, about what number of the enemy is about Winchester and all North of it---also what troops they are. I will be obliged, if you will ascertain as nearly as you can, and inform me. A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1] ALS, NN. No reply has been located, but Tyler telegraphed Hooker on June 17, ``The only rebel force of any amount that I am satisfied of was at Williamsport at 6 o'clock last evening. I think, allowing for exaggerations, there might be 7,000 or 8,000 men of all arms at Williamsport. . . .'' (OR, I, XXVII, II, 23).
