On March 20, 10:00 A,M., Ulysses S. Grant had telegraphed to President Abraham Lincoln: “Can you not visit City Point for a day or two? I would like very much to see you and I think the rest would do you good.”
Lincoln replied: “Your kind invitation received. Had already thought of going immediately after the next rain. Will go sooner if any reason for it. Mrs. L. and a few others will probably accompany me. Will notify you of exact time, once it shall be fixed upon.”
spending my night thinking about these two telegrams like
Sherman writing to Grant like “yeah I heard they were gonna try to make the me the same rank as you and I told my brother to tell them to FUCK OFF, love ya <3″
and Grant is like “got your nice letter, you know I would love you even if you were my superior :) you deserve it!”
