Edwin M. Stanton to Edwards Pierrepont, May 13, 1865 – Sent 5:20 p.m.

WAR DEPARTMENT,         
Washington City, May 13, 1865. (Sent 5.20 p.m.)
Hon. EDWARDS PIERREPONT,
New York:

I have proof of express personal malice against me by Greeley, and believe that I can establish a combination between him and others which may end in accomplishing my death, as it did against Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward. This is my reason for distinguishing his case from others of general vituperation.

EDWIN M. STANTON,       
Secretary of War.
(Same to Hon. F. B. Cutting.)
