Grants signs as Lieutenant General. Writes to Major General Meade about enemy movements reported by General Benjamin Butler. Poses the question, "May it not be the enemy are massing everything on this right for an Attack?" Advises, "I think it would be well to push reconnaissance both West & South from our extreme left to ascertain if any movements are in contemplation." Asks Meade to telegraph him in Harper's Ferry.
