Source: [|www.archives.gov/exhibits/american_originals/petersbg.html]  Telegram from Lincoln to Grant 8/17/1864 agreeing when Grant protested a decision to remove some of his troops during the Battle of Petersburg.  Lincoln's words encouraged Grant to continue to hang on with tenacity: "I have seen your despatch expressing your unwillingness to break your hold where you are. Neither am I willing. Hold on with a bull-dog gripe, and chew & choke, as much as possible."
