telegram is missing} |

| {Telegram does not appear to have
been delivered, probably because Grant was traveling from Atlanta to
Montgomery. The Stoneman raid in that area at the same time is probably
why Grant ended up in Athens on the 28th. The date of the 27th for the
telegram is my estimate, based on the dates of delivered
communications.} |
