General Halleck arrived in Washington on the 22d of July, and on the 25th he visited the army at Harrison's Landing. He found McClellan, as he stated in a ^* Memorandum for the Secretary of War," ' at the head of about 90,000 men, estimating the force of the enemy at ^^ not less than 200,000 " men, and yet of " opinion that, with 30,000 reinforce- ments, he could attack Richmond with a good chance of success." When told that the Govern- ment could promise him only 20,000 men, and that, if he could not take Richmond with that number, his troops must be withdrawn from the Peninsula and united with those of General Pope, he said that he would move on Richmond even with this small addition to his army; "there was a chance," he said, and he was " willing to try it." ^ Such ill-digested, not to say inconsistent, views could not impress General Halleck, or any one else, for that matter, favorably.
