Telegram To General U.S. Grant.
Executive Mansion, Washington, July 20, 1864. 4.30 P.M.
LIEUTENANT-GENERAL GRANT, City Point, Va.:
Yours of yesterday, about a call for three hundred thousand, is received. I suppose you had not seen the call for five hundred thousand, made the day before, and which, I suppose, covers the case. Always glad to have your suggestions.
A. LINCOLN.
