CITY POINT, VA., April 3, 1865
— 5 p.m.
Hon. EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War:
Yours received. Thanks for your caution, but I have already
been to Petersburg. Staid with General Grant an hour and a half and returned
here. It is certain now that Richmond is in our hands, and I think I will go
there to-morrow. I will take care of myself.
A. LINCOLN.
