Jackson, June 20, 1863.

To his Excellency the President:

I much regret the carelessness of my reply of the 16th to your telegram of the 15th. In my dispatch of the 12th, to the Secretary of War, I referred to your words, "We have withheld nothing which it was practicable to give," in your telegram of May 28th, and to the telegram of June 5th, [1] except the last sentence. I considered Executive as including the Secretary of War.

J. E. Johnston.
