The Messenger: Yes, sir.
Lincoln: And say that the first convoy of supplies will leave Washington this evening.
The Messenger: Yes, sir.
Lincoln: Thank you.
The MESSENGER goes. LINCOLN stands at the table for a moment; he rings the bell. HAWKINS comes in.
Mr. Hay, please.
Hawkins: Yes, sir.
He goes, and a moment later HAY comes in.
Lincoln: Go to General Scott. Ask him to come to me at once.
Hay: Yes, sir.
