ually change your mind on this subject. For the last three months I have done everything in my power to ward off the attacks which were made upon you. If you believe me your friend you will not require explanations; if not, explanations on my part would be of little avail.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

H. W. HALLECK,

Major-General.

MONTEREY, May 12, 1862.

Major-General POPE:

The right wing will advance to a new position tomorrow. Don't change your position, but make all the fuss and demonstration you can to make the enemy believe you are about to attack him. This may serve as a diversion in favor of the movement on the right.

Major-General.

Secretary of War:

There is great and immediate need of more cavalry in Kentucky and Tennessee.
