Union - Government/Military
President Lincoln, piqued at McClellan's delays after Antietam, wires the commander of the Army of the Potomac: "I have just read your despatch about sore tongued and fatigued horses. Will you pardon me for asking what the horses of your army have done since the battle of Antietam that fatigue anything?"
McClellan defends his cavalry and operations, pointing out various reconnaissances and raids.
General Grant assumes command of the Thirteenth Army Corps and the Department of Tennessee.
