WASHINGTON CITY, December 30, 1864 — 9 p.m.
Lieutenant-General
GRANT:
Your dispatch of 12
noon to-day just received, and I am rejoiced at its indications. No living man
shall know anything upon the subject from me except the Secretary of the Navy.
I would suggest an express from you to Porter to let him know at the earliest possible
moment what to expect before he leaves.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
