Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VII (Chap. 3.72) lyrics

Telegram To Secretary Stanton. City Point, Virginia, March 25, 1865. 8.30 A.M. HON. SECRETARY OF WAR, Washington, D. C.: Arrived here all safe about 9 P.M. yesterday. No war news. General Grant does not seem to know very much about Yeatman, but thinks very well of him so far as he does know. I like Mr. Whiting very much, and hence would wish him to remain or resign as best suits himself. Hearing this much from me, do as you think best in the matter. General Lee has sent the Russell letter back, concluding, as I understand from Grant, that their dignity does not admit of their receiving the document from us. Robert just now tells me there was a little rumpus up the line this morning, ending about where it began. A. LINCOLN.
