Abraham Lincoln — The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. VII Chap. 2.141

Telegram To General U.S. Grant. Executive Mansion, Washington, July 20, 1864. 4.30 P.M. LIEUTENANT-GENERAL GRANT, City Point, Va.: Yours of yesterday, about a call for three hundred thousand, is received. I suppose you had not seen the call for five hundred thousand, made the day before, and which, I suppose, covers the case. Always glad to have your suggestions. A. LINCOLN.
