If he has such views, it may be well to indulge him until we get every thing else in our hands.
Congratulating you and the army again upon the splendid results of your campaign, the like of which is not read of in past history, I subscribe myself, more than ever, if possible, your friend, U.S.GRANT, Lieutenant-General.
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY CITY POINT, VIRGINIA, December 26, 1864.
Major-General W.T.SHERMAN, Savannah, Georgia.
GENERAL: Your very interesting letter of the 22d inst., brought by Major Grey of General Foster's staff; is fast at hand.

As the major starts back at once, I can do no more at present than simply acknowledge its receipt.

The capture of Savannah, with all its immense stores, must tell upon the people of the South.

All well here.
Yours truly, U.S.GRANT, Lieutenant-General.

I feel very much gratified at receiving the handsome commendation you pay my army.
