general of the British army, a picture Of
the late General Robert l.. Lee. mounted

among the best of Us kind. General Wolse-
lev. during the late unpleasantness, visited
both the Union and the Confederate
armies. and was profoundly impressed by
General Lee. Since those visits General

paid tribute 10 General Lees excep-
tional military ability. 1t was in conse-
ouence of his known admiration OF Gene
raj Lee that the picture was sent General

ceived the following note from General
Wolselev:
