WASHINGTON, April 30th, l8G4.-To
Gen. Grant. Not expecting to see you
before the spring campaign opens, wish
to express in this way my entire satisfac-
ton with what you have done, up to this
time, so far as understand it. The par
ticulars of your plans neither know nor
seek to know. You are vigilant, self-re-
liant. Pleased with this, I wish not to
obtrude any CONSTANTS or restraints upon
YOU While am ANXIOUS that any great
disaster or the capture of our men in great
numbers shall be avoided, know these
points are less likely to escape your atten-
ton than they would mine. If there be
anything wanting within mypower to give,
do not fail to let me know now. With a
brave army and just cause, may God
sustain you. (Signed,) LINCOLN.

CULPErPER, May, lst, lS64.-To the
President: Your kind letter of yesterday
was Just received. The confidence you
express for the future, and satisfaction fol
the past of my military administration, are
acknowledged with pride. 1t shall be my
| earnest endeavor that you and the country
| shall not be disappointed. From my first
entrance into the volunteer service of the
country to the present day, I have never
had cause of complaint. have never ex-
pressed or implied complaint against the
| administration, or the Secretary Of Wal
for throwing any embarrassment in the way
of my vigorously prosecuting what ap.
peared to be my duty. Indeed since the
promotion which placed me in command
of all the Union armies, and in view of the
great responsibility and the importance Of
success, have been astonished at the
readiness with which everything asked for
has been yielded without even an expla-
nation being asked. Should my success
be less than desire and I expect, the least ]
can say is that the fault is not with you.
(Signed,) GRANT.
