Robert C. Schenck to H. W. Halleok, April 29, 1863
BALTIMORE, MpD.
BALTIMORE, MpD., April 29, 1863.
Maj. Gen. H. W. HALLEOK, General-in-Ohief : The fighting, the way it looks now, may be west of the Alleghanies. The report by Roberts of rebels concentrating in that quarter is highly probable. But I do not credit the report of Jones and his 2,000 at Fairmont. I have nothing with which to re-enforce Roberts. Have sént copy of his dispatch to Burnside. Will you give any orders to Burnside ?
ROBT. C. SCHENCK,
Major-General, Commanding.
