TO GENERAL U.S. GRANT.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, 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. [ [!-- H2 anchor --] ]
