Annotation

[1] Washington National Republican, May 10, 1864. This response is misdated May 13 in Hertz, II, 929. News that Grant had won a victory in the Battle of the Wilderness and had moved on Spottsylvania Court House brought premature rejoicing in Washington. On the night of May 9, the band of the Twenty-seventh Michigan Volunteers followed by a large crowd marched to the White House lawn and serenaded until Lincoln appeared on the portico to make his response.
