WM. L. PORTER,

Lieutenant and Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.

NEAR ATLANTA, GA., August 23, 1864-11.30 p. m. (Received 24th.)

Major General H. W. HALLECK,

Washington, D. C.:

All well. Give currency to the idea that I am to remain quiet till events transpire in other quarters, and let the idea be printed, so as to reach Richmond in three days. You understand the effect.

W. T. SHERMAN,

Major-General.
