Burnside, with all his troops, be ordered to this army, to enable it to assume the offensive as soon as possible. July 18th.

Halleck on the 28th: My opinion is more and more firm that here is the defence of Washington, and that I should be at once reinforced by all available troops to enable me to advance.

Halleck: I hope that it may soon be decided what is to be done by this army, and that the decision may be to reinforce it at once.

This report, in connection with the despatch of the general-in-chief on the 28th, before noted, induced me to direct Franklin to halt his command near Annandale until it could be determined, by Reconnoissances to Vienna and towards Manassas, whether these reports were true. Gen. Cox was ordered to send his small cavalry force
