Telegram To General Halleck Washington, D.C., December 31, 1861 GENERAL H. W. HALLECK, St. Louis, Missouri: General McClellan is sick. Are General Buell and yourself in concert? When he moves on Bowling Green, what hinders it being reinforced from Columbus? A simultaneous movement by you on Columbus might prevent it. A. LINCOLN. [Similar despatch to Buell same date.]
