Telegram To General W. S. Hancock. Washington, D. C., March 22, 1865. Major-General Hancock, Winchester, Va.: Seeing your despatch about General Crook, and fearing that through misapprehension something unpleasant may occur, I send you below two despatches of General Grant, which I suppose will fully explain General Crook's movements. A. LINCOLN.
