According to firsthand accounts written by Lt. Col. Charles Marshall of Lee's staff and Lt. Col. Horace Porter of Grant's staff, once General Grant had written out the terms, Col. Parker was to make a copy. In Campaigning with Grant, Porter writes, "Wilmer McLean's domestic resources in the way of ink now became the subject of a searching investigation, but it was found that the conical-shaped stoneware inkstand with a paper stopper which he had produced appeared in the general breaking up." Marshall also recalls, "There was an inkstand in the room, but the ink was so thick that it was of no use." Marshall then brought out his own small inkstand, which Parker used to write out the copy. Washington D.C. Feb. 15th, 1868 My Dear Mrs. Griswold Col Crosby informs me that he gave you the Inkstand I promised when I last saw you in New York - which was used in making out the Terms for the surrender of the Rebel Army of Northern Virginia at the house of Mr. McLean at Appomattox Court House April 9th, 65 Mr. McLeans House was my Head quarters on that day, & after the signing of the terms of surrender, I purchased the Inkstand & Table from him - the Table I gave to Mrs. General Custer & I now have the honor & pleasure of presenting the Inkstand to you.
