Lee, in answer to invitations to attend the
Gettysburg celebration ~a Iif
LEXINGTON, Va. Aug. 5, 1869.
Dear SRA bsence from Lexington has pre-
vented my receiving until to-day your letter of
the 26th ult . incloSing an invitation from the
Gettysburg Battle field Memorial Association,
to attend at meeting of the officer sengaged in
the battle at Gettysburg for the purpose of
marking upon the ground by enduring memori
ais of granite the position and movements Of he
armies on the field. My engagements will not
permit ME 20 be present I believe, if there,
could not add Anything material tothe informa-
ton existing on the subject. think it wiser,
moreover, not to keep open the sores Of war.
but to follow the examples Of those nations who
endeavored to nbliteratc the marks of civil strife,
to commit to oblivion the feelings it engeBdered.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
r. E. LEE.
