My Dear Sir,-0n the l4th instant

the evening Of the 18th in reference to
the site of the proposed monument to

/ expressed my regret at not being
able to accept the invitation in conse-
quence Of q prior conflicting engage

Having previously communicated
my desire to meet the members OF the
Council upon this subject, it may be
proper to say that did not know that
the Council bad designated the 18th in-
slant until read it in the city papers
a few days ago. If the condition OF q

and therefore replied to the resolution
of the Council as soon as it was re-
ceiyed that | would not be able to be
present at a meeting called for that
date.
81 will attend with pleasure the
meeting Of the Council called for any
date on or after the 23d instant as
may be most convenient TO its mem
bers. I assume with confidence that
the citizens of Richmond, the capital Of
Virginia, as we'll as that Of the late
Confederscy, are deeply interested in
peIpetuating the memory OF the Nir-
einian whose fame is closely entwined
with the heroism of her people, and
whose skill in directing the stragetical
and tactical movements Of the brave
men OF the army be commanded pre-
vented a hostile foot from crossing the
borders of Richmond until the life OF
the Confederacy itself had been extin-
guished. =,
my purpose in meeting the Council
is to ask the present representatives OF
a city whose place in the war-picture OF
the past was ever 'Dear the flash oil
