Lee wrote Davis a letter on April 20, 1865, explaining the circumstances of the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia and strongly advising Davis against engaging in a partisan war. It seems to be exceedingly unlikely that Davis could have received this letter before he was captured a month later, but I don't recall ever hearing any details about it. I assume that Davis never read the letter until, perhaps, after his release from prison. Does anyone know?
