One letter from Abraham Lincoln to Ulysses S. Grant dated September 12, 1864. Makes a suggestion for Philip Sheridan's Shenandoah campaign. Notes that "Sheridan and Early are facing each other at a dead lock." Asks if they could mobilize "ten thousand men, and quietly, but suddenly concentrate them at Sheridan's camp and enable him to make a strike?" Written on "Executive Mansion" stationery.
