Mr. Linclon sat down at the table, and wrote as fol-lows: The President directs me to say to you that he wishesyou to have no conference with General Lee, unless it befor the capitulation of Lees army, or on some minor orpurely military matter. He instructs me to say that youare not to decide, discuss, or confer upon any politicalquestion. Such questions the President holds in his ownhands, and will submit them to no military conferencesor. conventions. In the meantime you are to press to theutmost your military advantages. The President read over what he had written, andthen said: Now, Stanton, date and sign this paper, and sendit to Grant, Well see about this peace business.
