E. O. C. Ord (search for this): chapter 18
President, of May 29, 1865. Endorsement on the foregoing by Lieutenant-General U. S. Grant: Headquarters, armies of the United States, June 16, 1865. Respectfully forwarded through Secretary of War to the President, with earnest recommendation that the application of General Robert E. Lee, for amnesty and pardon, may be granted him. The oath of allegiance required by recent order of the President to accompany application does not accompany this, for the reason, as I am informed by General Ord, the order requiring it had not reached Richmond when this was forwarded.

General Grant's telegramalisbury and join him will probably open the way for Davis to escape to Mexico or Europe with his plunder, whical Stoneman were likely to result in the escape of Mr. Davis to Mexico or Europe, is in deep error. General Stnot at Salisbury, but had gone back to Statesville. Davis was between us, and therefore Stoneman was beyond him. By turning toward me he was approaching Davis, and, had he joined me as ordered, I would have had a mounted force greatly needed for Davis's capture, and for other purposes. Even now I don't know that Mr. Stanton wants Davis caught, and as my official papers, deemed sacred, are hastily published to the world, it will be imprud sorts of base motives, even of selling myself to Jeff.

When I had my conference with General Johnston, I had the public examples before me of General Grant's terms to Lee's army, and General Weitzel's invitation to the Virginia legislature to assemble at Richmond. I still believe the general government of the United States has made a mistake; but that is none of my business-mine is a different task; and I had flattered myself that, bs wide of the truth. I never saw or had furnished me a copy of President Lincoln's dispatch to you of the 3rd of March, nor did Mr. Stanton or any human being ever convey to me its substance, or anything like it. On the contrary, I had seen General Weitzel's invitation to the Virginia legislature, made in Mr. Lincoln's very presence, and failed to discover any other official hint of a plan of reconstruction, or any ideas calculated to allay the fears of the people of the South, after the destr
