As soon as the foregoing telegram was shown to Mr. Lincoln, he telegraphed to General Grant as follows:

Say to the gentlemen that I will meet them personally at Fortress Monroe as soon as I can get there.


At the same time he sent to Mr. Seward, who had already gone to Fortress Monroe, the following telegram:

Induced by a dispatch from General Grant, I join you at Fortress Monroe as soon as I can come.
