Mr.. Marion Butler, Editor: Dear
Sir-The issue Of TIE CAUCASIAN
of the 9TH instant was a gem replete
with an excellent article on the great
est commander, statesman and
christian gentleman of modern times.
Lees superior, if any, was in the
person of George Washington no
other man was his peer, and while
this issue recalled old and familiar
associations OF the past, the writer
regrets that there are SO many able
men who unappreciate the principles
and character Of the great and good
Lee. You richly deserve 5000 pay
ing subscribers to your most excel
lent journal, that is so pure and
chaste in reading matter and so bold
and courageous in defending the
hard laboror's rights, and for your
protecting care for the as ricultural
interests of the country. May you,
your paper and its readers live a
long, prosperous and useful life, and
at last rest under the shade of the
trees across the river.
Very respectfully,
w. J. CRADDOCK.
