The writer appends hereto two letters received by him approving
the accuracy of the foregoing sketch--one from the distinguished
jurist, who was his comrade in arms in the Junior Reserve brigade,
and to whom the old soldiers owe a debt of gratitude for his
monumental service in editing the Regimental Histories, the other
by one of Lee’s best fighters and most trusted lieutenants, and the
beloved commander of the boy-soldiers, whose valor is only equaled
by his modesty.
