McClernand's Expedition Page 10

Major-General MCCLERNAND, Springfield, Ill.:
Your telegram received. I mean to give to the Governors of
Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa latitude to raise for operations
on the Mississippi all the force they can of artillery,
infantry, and cavalry outside of the calls heretofore made;
but advanced pay and bounty are allowed only for those raised
within the calls and pursuant to previous orders. The local
interest and feeling in favor of the Mississippi operations
and your personal influence are relied on for the increased
force, as the bounty-funds will be exhausted by the previous
calls.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
