IMO, I think Lincoln met with Robert at Grant's headquarters; but I also believe the story that Tad went with his father into the streets of Richmond.

Probably not part of Lincoln's calculation, but having Tad with him in Richmond probably made it safer for him. Anyone thinking of taking a shot at Lincoln would think twice if he had his twelve-year old son with him.
