The following Telegram
received City Point Apr 5 1865
From Washington 6 P.M.
5th 1865
About two hours ago Mr Seward was thrown from his carriage
his shoulder bone at the head of the joint broken off, his head and face much
bruised and he is in my opinion dangerously injured. I think your presence here
is needed. Mrs Lincoln with a party of friends left here this morning in the
Monohanset for City Point. Please let me know when you may be expected
