[RJNorton]

John, I have Lincoln Day By Day. He departed City Point for the return trip to Washington at 11:00 P.M. on April 8. This was aboard the River Queen. He arrived in Washington at about 6 P.M. on April 9.

In late afternoon on April 3, while at City Point (after meeting with Grant in Petersburg earlier in the day), he telegraphed Stanton, "It is certain now that Richmond is in our hands, and I think I will go there tomorrow." On April 4 he went to Richmond. The next morning, April 5, he returned to City Point.
