WASHINGTON, April 21,
1865.
Hon. E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War:
I have received and just completed reading the dispatches
brought by special messenger from General Sherman. They are of such importance
that I think immediate action should be taken on them and that it should be
done by the President in council with his whole cabinet. I would respectfully
suggest whether the President should not be notified and all his cabinet, and
the meeting take place to-night.
U. S. GRANT,
Lieutenant-General.
