George B. McClellan to Winfield Scott, June 27, 1861

General WINFIELD Scott: General McCall has ordered two Pennsylvania regiments to a position in Pennsylvania near Cumberland. Wallace had a very handsome CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.—UNION. skirmish near there yesterday, killing seventeen. Parties threaten Piedmont. Isuggest that one of McCall’s regiments occupy Piedmont at once, to protect Union, and the other re-enforce Wallace. I cannot spare the force just at present. It would produce excellent effect, and is really important. If rumors are true, I have sharp work before me. Information vague.
