To General H. W. Halleck. Executive Mansion, Washington January 7, 1863. MAJOR-GENERAL HALLECK. MY DEAR SIR:—What think you of forming a reserve cavalry corps of, say, 6000 for the Army of the Potomac? Might not such a corps be constituted from the cavalry of Sigel's and Slocum's corps, with scraps we could pick up here and there? Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.
