. . . I never before saw Grant so intensely anxious to do
something. He appears determined to try every possible expedient. His plans are
good but the great difficulty is that our troops cannot be relied upon. The
failure to take advantage of opportunities pains and chafes him beyond anything
I have ever before known him to manifest.
Each and every member of the staff daily requests me to
present you his kindest remembrances. . . .
James Harrison Wilson, The
Life of John A. Rawlins, p. 258
