Head Quarters, March 2, 1865.
General, — I
have received to-day your letter of the 1st instant, and concluded to propose
an interview to General Grant. As you desired to have two or three days'
notice, I have appointed Monday next, 6th instant, at eleven a.m., at the point
suggested by you. Will you send my letter to General Grant, and arrange with
General Ord for the interview? If you will ride in to my quarters on Saturday
next, 4th instant, by ten a.m., in Richmond, I shall be happy to see you, when
you can enlighten me on the points you referred to in your letter. I hope some
good may result from the interview.
Very truly yours,
R. E. Lee,
General.
General J.
Longstreet,
Commanding, etc.:
P.S. — Seal the letter to General Grant before transmitting.
R. E. L.
