JETTERSVILLE, April 5,1865—3
P. M.
To Lieutenant-General U. S. Grant:—
General:—I
send you the
inclosed letter, which will give you an idea of the condition of the enemy
and their whereabouts. I sent General Davies's brigade this morning around on
my left flank. He captured at Fame's Cross five pieces of artillery, about two
hundred wagons, and eight or nine battle-flags, and a number of prisoners. The
Second Army Corps is now coming op. I wish you were here yourself. I feel
confident of capturing the Army of Northern Virginia, if we exert ourselves. I
see no escape for Lee. I will send all my cavalry out on our left flank, except
McKenzie, who is now on the right.
P. H. Sheridan, Major-General.
