Annotation

[1] ALS, RPB. Lincoln forwarded to Tyler a telegram from Hooker to Halleck received at 4:50 P.M., as follows: ``Please inform me whether our forces at Harper's Ferry are in the town or on the heights, and, if the latter, whether we hold Bolivar, Loudon, or Maryland Heights . . . ; what bridges at Harper's Ferry, and where; from what direction is the enemy making his attack? . . .'' (OR, I, XXVII, I, 46).

Tyler's reply received at 9:40 P.M. is in part as follows: ``We have not been attacked at Harper's Ferry. We are threatened from the direction of Charlestown. . . . We hold Maryland Heights strongly; Bolivar Heights with a less force.'' (OR, I, XXVII, III, 159).
