Tell General Sherman that if he can take Atlanta the blow will thrill the Nation, carry the election, and save the Union. Grant is deadlocked at Petersburg and may be there all winter. If he can fight at once and give us a victory, it's all that's needed. I'll send him an order to strike. Tell him to destroy it if he wins. If he loses--I'll publish it and take the blame on myself. Can you do this?

All right. Take this card at once to Stanton's office. Ask him to send you by boat to Aquia--by horse from there. Return here for your papers.
