TELEGRAM TO GENERAL HOOKER.
WASHINGTON, June 16, 1863.10 P.M.
MAJOR-GENERAL HOOKER:
To remove all misunderstanding, I now place you in the strict military relation to General Halleck of a commander of one of the armies to the general-in-chief of all the armies. I have not intended differently, but as it seems to be differently understood I shall direct him to give you orders and you to obey them.
A. LINCOLN. [ [!-- H2 anchor --] ]
