by him as the greatest possible of crimes ::
that he wanted to know whether l could
make any general concessions anything
by which he could maintain his hold and
control Of his army, and prevent its scat
tering; anything to crafty the great
yearning of their people. If so. he
thought he could arrange terms satisfacto-
rily to both parties. He wanted to en-
brace the condition and fate Of all the ar
mics in the Southern Confederacy TO the
Rio Grande-to make one job of it.
asked him what his powers were
whether he could command and control
the fate of all the armies 10 the Rie
