ST. LOUIS, Dec. 22,
1865.
Dear Brother:
I am just back from Little Rock, have read the message and
all the reports which seem satisfactory. Grant's report is all I ask, but no
one ever has and may not agree with me as to the very great importance of the
march north from Savannah. The march to the sea seems to have captivated
everybody, whereas it was child's play compared with the other. All well with
me. I will write soon.
W. T. SHERMAN.
