Selected Correspondance of Abraham Lincoln 1863 Telegram To General Dix
by Abraham Lincoln
WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D.C., June 6, 1863.
MAJOR-GENERAL Dix, Fort Monroe, Va.:
By noticing the news you send from the Richmond Dispatch of this
morning you will see one of the very latest despatches says they have
nothing reliable from Vicksburg since Sunday. Now we here have a
despatch from there Sunday and others of almost every day preceding
since the investment, and while they show the siege progressing they
do not show any general fighting since the 21st and 22d. We have
nothing from Port Hudson later than the 29th when things looked
reasonably well for us. I have thought this might be of some
interest to you.
