WASHINGTON, April
21st, 1861
JOHN W. GARRETT, Pres.
YOUR telegram received on our return from an interview with
the President, Cabinet, and General Scott. Be calm and do nothing until you
hear from me again. I return to see the President at once and will telegraph
again. Waller, Burns, and Dobbin are with me.
