General McClellan mentions General Randolph Barnes Marcy. Discusses transmitting a written document, possibly to the Count de Paris Philippe d'Orléans, who had served as a volunteer under McClellan during the Civil War. Suggests omitting a rejoinder to Winfield Scott Hancock contained within the document that was to be sent. Supports Hunt's views on the duties of the Chief of Artillery. Envelope was originally addressed to a Charles B. Young; Young's information has been struck.
