vailable forces and drive back Sherman. R. E. Lee. Lincolnton, North Carolina, February 23, 1865. General R. E. Lee: It is too late to expect me to concentrate troops capable of driving back Sherman. The remnant of the Army of Tennessee is much divided. So are other troops. I will get information from General Beauregard as soon as practicable. Is any discretion allowed me? I have no staff. J. E. Johnston. Charlotte, February 28, 1865. Hon. J. C. Breckenridge, Secretary of War, Richmond: I respectfully urge that four months pay be immediately given to the troops of this department, and a small part in specie to each private, and that the money be sent to Major Deslond. Four months pay for twenty thousand men. J. E. Johnston. Charlotte, February 28, 1865. Hon. J. C. Breckenridge, Secretary of War, Richmond: The Navy Department has a quantity of coffee here. It would be very valuable to our troops. I suggest its transfer. J. E. Johnston.
