WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City,
January 5, 1865 — 2.50 p.m.
Lieutenant-General
GRANT,
Fortress Monroe :
I think it would be
useful if you would write to Sherman, urging him to give facilities to the
organization of colored troops. He does not seem to appreciate the importance
of this measure and appears indifferent if not hostile.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
