CITY POINT, VA.,
October 24, 1864.
Major-General MEADE:
Your note, by the hands of Lieutenant Dunn, is received. I
have felt as much pained as you at the constant stabs made at you by a portion
of the public press. I know nothing better to give you to use in answer to
these charges than copies of every dispatch sent to Washington by me, in which
your name is used. These will show at least that I have never expressed
dissatisfaction at any portion of your services.
U.S. GRANT,
Lieutenant-General.
