or writing to me. With great respect and true affection, your obedient servant, (Signed) R. E. Lee. The following expresses a great deal in brief compass: Lexington, February 28, 1870. Mr. Samuel R. George, 71 Mt. Vernon Place, Baltimore, Maryland: My Dear Sir; I have learned with deep regret the great sorrow that has befallen you, and sincerely sympathize in your overwhelming grief. But the great God of heaven takes us at the period when it is best for us to go, and we can only grateful thanks to your association for the honor conferred on me and believe me, Very respectfully, your obedient servant, R.

One pastor of a leading Church in the south-west said to me: I am indebted to you for baptizing in the army the best and most efficient men in my Church. I had a tender meeting several years ago with a delegate from Texas to the Southern Baptist Convention at Baltimore, whom I had baptized on the Rapidan in August, 1863, and I might give a number of touching incidents concerning these men whom I meet all over the South. In the summer of 1865 I was travelling one day along a country road in Virginia, when I saw a young man plowing in the field, guiding the plow with one hand, while an empty sleeve hung at his side. I know not how others may feel about it, but for myself I never see the empty sleeve or halting gait of the true Confederate soldier that
