The Daily Dispatch: June 18, 1862., [Electronic resource], An Incident. (search)
An Incident. --A lady was about leaving Norfolk a few days ago, under flag of truce, for this city, when she was approached by the Federal General Mansfield, who politely bade her good-bye and added that he hoped to have the pleasure of calling upon her shortly in Richmond. "Perhaps, General," said the lady, "it may be my privilege to call upon you in Richmond, when I shall endeavor to repay the kindness you have shown me here." "How so?" asked the General, evidently puzzled to comprehend the remark. "Because," the lady replied. "we have many large and commodious tobacco factories in Richmond, to one of which, on your arrival there, you will doubtless be consigned; and while it will not be your privilege to visit the ladies, it will, perhaps, be mine to call upon you, and thus in some measure relieve the tedium of your imprisonment." To this remark the General essayed no answer, but very shortly retired.
