Gen. Lees Letter to Little Boy

Judge J. T. Bernard was member of
the 9Th Florida infantry, Army of Vir-

ging that he would let his father come
home on short visit, adding by way of
inducement: 'If you will please let him
come home, I'll go out and help him
fight just as soon as get old enough. +"
The following is Gen. Lees answer,
verbatim, written on coarse, unlined
Confederate paper, the only kind then
in use in the South:
HEADQUARTERS G. S. ARMIES,
1st March, 1865.
Master Overton Bernard, Tallahassee,
Fla: received your letter asking me to
let your pa come home to see you this
winter. It is too late now, but l will
see if he can be spared little while, but
you must not fail to come out to fight
for your country as soon as you are big
enough. whether let your pa come
home or not. If all little boys don't
make up their minds to fight as soon as
they are able, you won't have any home
for your pa to come to. Very truly,
your friend, II. E. Lee, General.
