Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman                
   

            HEADQUARTERS ARMIES OF THE UNITED STATES,
                         CITY POINT, VIRGINIA, December 26, 1864
 
Major-General W. T. SHERMAN, Savannah, Georgia.
 
GENERAL: Your very interesting letter of the 22d inst., brought by Major Grey of General Foster's staff; is fast at hand. As the major starts back at once, I can do no more at present than simply acknowledge its receipt. The capture of Savannah, with all its immense stores, must tell upon the people of the South. All well here.
   Yours truly,
                      U. S. Grant, Lieutenant-General.
