   Your dispatch of yesterday received. I had dispatched Major Chrisman twice to request your presence here for conference. He telegraphed me on 31st that you would leave for Richmond that night. I was therefore surprised by your inquiry of me. After seeing the extraordinary conditions contained in your letter to Major Chrisman I consider it unnecessary to trouble you to come to Richmond.
