to execute the cartel by which we have agreed to liberate an excess of prisoners of war in our hands, a sacred regard for plighted faith which shocks from the semblance of breaking a promise precludes a resort to such an extremity; nor is it his desire to extend to any other forces of the United States the punishment merited by Gen. Pope and each commissioned officers as others to participate in the execution of his infamous order. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant. (Signed) R. E. Lee, General Commanding. Headquarters of the Army,Washington, Augut 9, 1862. General R. E. Lee, Commanding, &c: General — Your two communications of the 2d instant, with enclosures, are received. As these papers are couched in language exceedingly insulting to the Government of the United States, I must respectfully decline to receive them. They are returned herewith. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, H. W. Halleck, General-in-Chief U. S. Army.
