GDG- Petersburg completely enveloped

[Dennis Lawrence]

To Mary Todd Lincoln [2]
City Point, Va., April 2, 1865.

Mrs. Lincoln: At 4:30 p.m. to-day General Grant telegraphs that he has 
Petersburg completely enveloped from river below to river above, and has 
captured, since he started last Wednesday, about 12,000 prisoners and 50 
guns. He suggests that I shall go out and see him in the morning, which I 
think I will do. Tad and I are both well, and will be glad to see you and 
your party here at the time you name. A. LINCOLN.
