"I propose for your consideration sending two good brigades from this army to reinforce Genl. Jackson. These. . . will make him strong enough to wipe out Fremont. . ." Jackson will "sweep down north of the Chickahominy, cut up McClellan's communications & rear, while I attack in front. I can hold McClellan in his present position for a week or ten days during this movement. . .McClellan will not move out of his entrenchments unless forced, which this must accomplish."
