Richmond serves one purpose. Lee must defend it. If we threaten the city, he will have to confront us. Lee will soon learn ... we are not going away. If the newspapers and all those people in Washington must hear that, fine, I will write it down, send a letter to Stanton. You can deliver it yourself, read it to him, to all of them, make them understand what we are going to do. If it takes all summer ... if it takes all year ... it is only a matter of time before General Lee must face the consequences.
