does not form . part Of General Grants pro-
gramme at present, he does not desire TO
hurry them out Of Richmond and Petersburg

riencs Saturday tho enemy would be likely TO renew
an assault which resulted very dsasrously TO them
Important operations in progress however, around
Petersburg and Richmond which cannot fail 10 have
important bearing upon the final result

altered standard before any further considerable per-
manent reduction occurs.
