More from Abraham Lincoln
Induced by a dispatch from General Grant, I join you at Fort Monroe as soon as I come.
the object of the war being to restore and maintain the blessings of peace and good government, I desire you to help, and not hinder, every advance in that direction.
Let us strive to deserve, as far as mortals may, the continued favor of Almighty God.
Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
