r. LRE.
! Robert Lee is regarded as a noble Teller.
He was opposed to the war at fust, and
draw'd his swoard very reluctant. In fact,
ne would't have drawed his sword at all,
only he had large stock of military cloths
on hand, which he didn't want to waste.
lie sez the culled men are right, and we
will at once go to New York and open q
Sabbath School for negro ministries.
