How did General In Chief George B. McClellan plan to protect Washington DC while he was fighting in the Peninsula?

The US Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton wanted to know from General George B. McClellan, his plans for protecting Washington DC while the main part of the Army of the Potomac was engaged in battle in the Peninsula campaign. Both he and US President Lincoln were concerned that while McClellan was in Virginia fighting his Peninsula campaign that there was a possibility of a Confederate assault on Washington DC.McClellan outlined for Stanton his plans for this. The troops he would leave in and around Washington DC would number 55,500 including the 35,000 troops in the Shenandoah. As General in Chief, McClellan assumed that all of these troops would remain under his command as he parted for Fort Monroe.

What was President Lincoln's plans to defeat the Confederates after the Battle of Antietam?

President Lincoln saw the Confederate retreat back to Virginia after the Battle of Antietam as an opportunity to severely damage the Confederate army in Virginia. He urged General McClellan to rapidly pursue Lee's army into Virginia and cut his lines of communication with Richmond. This would force Lee into another battle with the Army of the Potomac and suffer a defeat due to Lee's smaller army. This would then leave Richmond ripe for a take over.
