Mr. President,—Your letter of the 21st instant has been received, and I am much obliged to you for the suggestions it contains.
As soon as I receive an official account of the casualties in the army it will be forwarded.
The list of our wounded and missing I know will be large.
Many of the first could not be moved alescents and stragglers is enlarging these divisions so much that I shall have to separate them again.
As regards General Davis's brigade, I think it will be better to attach the three Mississippi regiments to Posey's brigade, in Anderson's divi his brigade I suggest be attached to Pettigrew's old brigade.

Letter from President Davis to the Reunion of Confederate veterans at Dallas, Texas, August 6th, 1884.
Beauvoir, Miss., July 29, 1884. Major John F. Elliolt .
My Dear Sir. :I have received yours of the 28th instant, and the renewed invitation to attend the reunion in Texas of the old settlers and ex-Confederates intensifies the regret heretofore expressed at my inability to be present on that occasion.
The very gratifying terms of your letter revives the grateful recollection of th tural, mining, manufacturing, educational, social and religious efforts she may gather wreaths of oak worthy to mingle with the fadeless laurel that decks her brow.
Deprived of the happiness of meeting, probably for the last time, the Old Settlers and ex-Confederates in their reunion, of receiving the friendly welcome and feeling the warm grasp of their hands, I send to them my earnest prayer that every good and perfect gift may be vouchsafed to them, and remain faithfully, Jefferson Davis.
