Jefferson Davis, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, Chapter 50: (search)
noted this serious inclining of many to thoughts of peace, scarcely admits of a doubt; if he believed the Congress to be infected by a cabal undermining the executive in his efforts successfully to prosecute the war, Lincoln may be naturally supposed thence to have reached the conclusion that he should accept nothing but an unconditional surrender, and that he should not allow a commission from the Confederacy to visit the United States capital.

The conference was granted and took place on the 30th ult., on board of a steamer anchored in Hampton Roads, where we met President Lincoln and the Hon. Mr. Seward, Secretary of State of the United States. It continued for
