#PLA's #CRISISinCOMMAND is based on inputs drawn from Chinese sources. #Leadership is rarely taken into account when we assess China. I remain convinced that we are overassessing #Chinesemilitary strength https://t.co/Mw4x73dGaB via @palepurshankar

Hooker,
Your application to be relieved from your present command is received.
As you were appointed to this command by the President, I have no power to relieve you. Your dispatch has been duly referred for Executive action.

Halleck,
My original instructions require me to cover Harper’s Ferry and Washington…. I am unable to comply with this condition with the means at my disposal, and earnestly request that I may at once be relieved from the position I occupy.
Hooker. #CrisisInCommand
Halleck,
I have received your telegram in regard to Harper’s Ferry...Here [the men] are of no earthly account….Now they are but a bait for the rebels, should they return.
I beg that this may be presented to the Secretary of War and the President.
Hooker. #CrisisInCommand

Maryland Heights have always been regarded as an important point to be held… I cannot approve their abandonment, except in case of absolute necessity.
