WASHINGTON, April 22,
1865 — 2.30 p.m.
Major-General HALLECK:
Your telegram of this morning indicates that Sherman's
agreement with Johnston was not known to you. His action is disapproved, and he
is ordered to resume hostilities immediately. But his order to Stoneman will
allow Davis to escape with his plunder. I will write you the details.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
