Annotation

[1] ALS-P, ISLA. On Sunday, March 29, the New York Mercury printed a dispatch dated Cairo, March 28, 8 P.M., announcing the successful use of one of the canals which Grant's army was engaged in digging to by-pass the Vicksburg fortifications. A telegram from M. J. Roberts, manager of the New York telegraph office to Thomas T. Eckert, March 30, 12:10 P.M., verified that the purported dispatch was a hoax, ``No dispatch for the `Mercury' appears on the . . . Line Books Saturday.'' (DLC-RTL).
