My dear Sir:
You remember my speaking to you of what I called your over-cautiousness. Are you not over-cautious when you assume that you cannot do what the enemy is constantly doing? Should you not claim to be at least his equal in prowess, and act upon the claim?...

The correct response is:
Abraham Lincoln was disappointed that McClellan did not follow through and was too cautious.
This reflects Lincoln's concerns about McClellan's overly cautious approach to military strategies and operations, which he believed impeded the Union Army's effectiveness in the Civil War.
