EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
February 12, 1863.
MAJOR-GENERAL ROSECRANS,
Murfreesborough, Tenn.:
Your despatch about "river patrolling" received. I have called the Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of War, and General-in-Chief together, and submitted it to them, who promise to do their very best in the case. I cannot take it into my own hands without producing inextricable confusion.
A. LINCOLN.
