Annotation
[1] ALS, RPB. Governor Parker's telegram of June 29 is as follows:
``The people of New Jersey are apprehensive that the invasion of the enemy may extend to her soil. We think that the enemy should be driven from Pennsylvania. There is now certainly great apathy under such fearful circumstances. That apathy should be removed. The people of New Jersey want McClellan at the head of the Army of the Potomac. If that cannot be done, then we ask that he may be put at the head of the New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania troops now in Pennsylvania, defending these Middle States from invasion. If either appointment be made, the people would rise en masse.
``I feel it my duty, respectfully, to communicate this state of feeling to you.''(OR, I, XXVII, III, 409).
