Lee and Williams. Some years before the war
when Lee superintendent of the Military
Academy, Williams was his adjutant and was
known to be a great favorite with him. As
Williams approached, the two shook hands but
there nothing in Lees face as he gravely
and cOurteously received him, to indicate that
he had met him before. After talking
little while. General Grant beckoned me for
ward. and on approaching General Lee, pretty
much the same scene took place as with Will
Jams. General Grant said: General Lee is de-
sirOuS that his officers and men should have on
their persons some evidence that they are pa
rolled prisoners, so that they will not be dis
turbed,' and General Lee remarked that he de-
sired simply 10 do Whatever was in his power to

Now, most of my CourierS and many of the
artillery and cavalry own their own horses.
How viii it be about them?"
General Grant replied at once. speaking to me:
They will be allowed to retain them' Turn

them in putting in their spring crops" The re-
mark struck me as peculiar, and have no doubt
it did Lee. for Grant could have said nothing
which demonstrated more completely his idea
