Colonel Cyrus B. Comstock to Senator John Sherman, February 21, 1868

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES,        
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, 1868.

Dear Sir: By General Grant's direction I enclose a copy of a despatch from General Sherman, seeming to indicate his preference that the correspondence in question should not now be made public.

Respectfully yours,
C. B. COMSTOCK., B.B.S.
HON. JOHN SHERMAN,
        United States Senate.
