This story is told on the authority of Weed with much circumstantial
detail including the full text of a letter written by McClellan. The
letter was produced because McClellan had said that no negotiations took
place. Though the letter plainly alludes to negotiations of some sort,
it does not mention the specific offer attributed to Lincoln. Nicolay
and Hay are silent on the subject. See also note five, above.
