Maj. Gen. GEORGE B. MoOLELLAN, Commanding Department of Virginia, before Richmond : The delay of Major-General Banks to relieve the division of my command in the valley beyond the time I had calculated on will prevent my joining you with remainder of the troops I am to take below at as early a day asI named. My Third Division, McCall’s, is now on the way. Please do me the favor to so place it that it may be in a position to join the others as they come down from Fredericksburg.
