RICHMOND, VA., April 2, 1865.
General R. E. LEE, Petersburg, Va.:
The Secretary of War has shown me your dispatch. To move
to-night will involve the loss of many valuables, both for the want of time to
pack and of transportation. Arrangements are progressing, and unless you
otherwise advise the start will be made.
JEFF'N DAVIS.
