EXECUTIVE MANSION, J
WASHINGTON, June }.
Hon. F. A Conkling and others;
Gentlemen: Your letter inviting me to be
present at mass meeting Of loyal citizens
to be held at New York on the 4th inst, fol
the purpose of expressing gratitude to Gen
Grant for his signal services, was received
yesterday. 1t is impossible for me to at
tend, approve nevertheless whatever may
tend to strengthen and sustain Gen. Grant
and the noble armies now under his direc
ton. My previous high estimate of Gen
Grant has baen maintained and heightened
by what has occurred in the remarkable
campaign he is now conducting, while the
magnitude and difficulty of the task before
him does not prove less than expected
He and his brave soldiers a,e now in the
midst of the great trial, and trust at your
meeting you will 80 shape your good words
that they may turn to men and guns moving
to his and their support.
fSigned,l
Yonrs Truly,
