Contemporary printed copy of Lincoln's April 9, 1862 letter to McClellan castigating him for failing to adequately defend Washington and for his lack of action: "The country will not fail to note--is noting now--that the present hesitation to move upon an entrenched enemy is but the story of Manassas repeated...you must act."
