By command of Major-General Buell:

A. F. ROCKWELL,

Aide-de-Camp and Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 2, 1862.

Major-General HALLECK,

Corinth, Miss.:

Your several dispatches of yesterday to Secretary of War and myself received. I did say and now repeat, I would be exceedingly glad for some re-enforcements from you. Still do not send a man if in your judgment it will endanger any point you deem important to hold or will force you to give up or weaken or delay or delay the Chattanooga expedition.

Please tell me could you not make me a flying visit for consultation without endangering the service in your department?

A. LINCOLN.
