Oh! Yes, I see that, he said. As we say out West, If a man can't skin he must hold a leg while somebody else does. The following correspondence closed the first chapter of my personal acquaintance with President Lincoln: executive mansion, Washington, April 30, 1864. Lieutenant-General Grant: Not expecting to see you again before the Spring campaign opens, I wish to express in this way my entire satisfaction with what you have done up to this time, so far as I understand it.
