Headquarters Army Of The Potomac, March 12, 1865.
Yesterday General Grant with a small party came out here and
I had a review for them. In the evening General Grant was presented at City
Point with the gold medal voted him by Congress, and I went to City Point to
the presentation. To-day Pendleton Watmough and young Parker (Cortlandt's
nephew), both of whom command gunboats in the James, came to see me, and I took
them around the lines. Your brother Willie came in whilst they were here,
looking very well and in good spirits. We are quiet and nothing going on.
