Executive MANsion,
September 12, 1864.
Lieutenant-General Grant:
Sheridan and Early are facing each other at a dead-lock.
Could we not pick up a regiment here and there, to the number of say ten
thousand men, and quietly but suddenly concentrate them at Sheridan's camp and
enable him to make a strike?
This is but a suggestion.
Yours truly,
A. LINCOLN.
