ent of the United States. I replied at once: headquarters military division of the Mississippi, in the field, Atlanta, Georgia, September 17, 1864. President Lincoln, Washington, D. C.: I will keep the department fully advised of all developments connected with the subject in which you feel interested. Mr. Wright, fnt of the United States. To which I replied: headquarters military division of the Mississippi, in the field, Atlanta, Georgia, September 28, 1864. President Lincoln, Washington, D. C.: I have positive knowledge that Mr. Davis made a speech at Macon, on the 22d, which I mailed to General Halleck yesterday.
