Fitzhugh Lee, General Lee, Chapter 15: evacuation of Richmond and the Petersburg lines.--retreat and surrender. (search)
ion of peace, I should be pleased to meet you at To A. M. to-morrow on the old stage road to Richmond, between the picket lines of the two armies. R. E. Lee, General. Lieutenant-General U. S. Grant.

Friday, April 7, (preceding the surrender on Sunday, April 9,) Sorrel's brigade, Georgia Troops, (formerly Wright's,) under command at the time of Colonel G. E. Tayloe, formed a part of the rear guard of Lee's army. Before noon near Farmville, Va., the enemy pressed us closely, deployed into line of battle for attack, and our brigade was quickly deployed to resist it. From noon till night we maintained robably thirty paces and called out the inquiry, What is wanted? The answer was given, Important dispatches from General Grant to General Lee.

General of the brigade, came soon to our line, and with Major Moffett, went out to the flag of truce, and received the dispatch which was hurried to brigade headquarters and thence to General Lee.
