John J. Raskob, Chairman of the Finance Committee of General Motors Corp., sailed into Manhattan harbor on the Roma, last week; and out to greet him sailed his good friend Governor Alfred Emanuel Smith of New York on the yacht Saelmo, owned by Shipbuilder William Henry Todd. Because of an extremely active southwest wind and choppy sea the Roma and Saelmo could not draw nigh to one another without danger.

Petersburg saw Lee defending the Danville railway, source of Confederate supplies, and losing men. Grant lost more, but had more to lose. The pressure was beginning to tell on Lee. In the spring of 1865, a gallant remnant of Lee's army, to whose "tattered standards the fortunes of the Confederacy had been nailed," laid down its arms...
