Culpepper C. H., Va., April 26, 1864.
. . . General Grant's request to have General Banks relieved
from duty in the field the President declines to accede to till he has heard
further from the Red River expedition. I trust in God Banks may retrieve
himself. My heart beats fearfully for the brave men he commands. Many of them I
know personally. They are of the heroes of Vicksburg. . . .
