Letter from James Glenny to William H. Glenny, 22 May 1864

Abstract

A letter to William Glenny from his cousin James. There is much mentioned in regards to the war, "Nothing at present seems to engross the minds of the people so much as the War, and Grant, last Sunday the greatest excitement prevailed here, and the majority of them were in ecstacies at the very favorable reports which came from Sec. Stanton. There seems but little doubt, but that Grant is quite equal to the task which the Nation has entrusted him with, and I have no doubt but before long we shall hear that Richmond has fallen into his hands."
