Longstreet A POST WAR LETTER FROM GENERAL LEE

[Stiles/Akin]

A POST WAR LETTER FROM GENERAL LEE "You must remember me very kindly to Mrs. Longstreet and all your children... I had, while in Richmond, a great many inquiries after you, and learned that you intended commencing business in New Orleans. If you become as good a merchant as you were a soldier, I shall be content. No one will then excel you, and no one can wish you more success and more happiness than I. My interest and affection for you will never cease, and my prayers are always offered for your prosperity."

From The Longstreet Society
