WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington, December
2, 1864 — 10.30 a.m.
Lieutenant-General GRANT,
City Point:
The President feels solicitous about the disposition of
General Thomas to lay in fortifications for an indefinite period “until Wilson
gets equipments.” This looks like the McClellan and Rosecrans strategy of do
nothing and let the rebels raid the country. The President wishes you to
consider the matter.
E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
