Tonight's Civil War Trivia Question Value: 10 points, 1 bonus point goes to the player with the first answer. This question will be open until Sunday between 9 and 10pm EDT, when another question will be posted! As usual: Please do not post your answers anywhere but in this forum!

Name the recipient of the letter that contained this paragraph: "I am truly sorry to know that you still feel the effects of the illness you suffered last spring, and can readily understand the embarrassments you experience in using the eyes of others, having been so much accustomed to make your own reconnaissances. Practice will, however, do much to relieve that embarrassment, and the minute knowledge of the country which you have acquired will render you less dependent for topographical information."
.
Post your answers below. Good Luck!

Trivia will not be posted on the following nights: Thursday, July 25, 2013

If you have a Civil War book, or perhaps some other interesting Civil War product you'd like to promote by giving it away as a trivia prize, contact the Webmaster, Mike Kendra!

I think it was Mrs. Lee, Marse Roberts wife.

Edit - A good guess, Oliver, but unforunately, incorrect.

Welcome to the trivia game. Hope you'll come back and play again.

Robert E Lee received this letter from Jefferson Davis.
