The presence of dangerous little
poisonous uric acid crystals i'm the

of acute rheumatism. They run along

Bishop Lee and General Lee
An Account of the Visit of the Rev. Alfred Lee,
D. D., Bishop of fhe Episcopal Diocese of
Delaware TO GeH. Robert E. Lee, Command
ing the Army of Northern Virginia.
By HOWARD L. PYLE

Alfred Lee, of the Episcopal Church of
Delaware, was all during the war. not
only a strong defender of the Union,
but was actively interested in the work
of the sanitary commission of the
North, whose efforts were directed to-
ward alleyiating the suilerings of the
men at the front, by forwarding all
kinds Of medical supplies, food stuifs
and delicacies, bedding for hospitals,
etc.
Touched by the tales coming from
Libby and Andersonville the good bish-
op, after consulting with his associates
Of the commission applied 10 Presi-
dent Lincoln for pass through the
Union lines and an escort under a flag
of truce, for the purpose Of visiting
General Lee. All this was accomplished.
When he met the general he sought and
obtained a private conference at which
he asked. in behalf Of the sanitary com
mission, the humane privilege of send
ing to the Confederate officials of the
prisons named, supplies OF medical ma
terials and foOdstuifs to the Unoin
prisoners, with the purpose in view of
easing their suiferings and lowering the
awful death rate.
''Much TO the bishops surprise the
general refused to consider the PROPOSE
tion and seemed in haste to terminate
the interview as tine subject seemed
painful 20 him."
Bishop McCabe told me he obtained
the above. information relative to The
interview from Bishop Lee himself.
Some months ago the facts above re-
cited were told TO the late Captain
James l.. Hawkins of the First Della
ware Battery. He remembered the in
cident of the bishops passing through
the lines. but, although the object of
the mission was surmised. it was not
definitely known.
On going over the subject with mem-
bers of the family of the bishop they
speak of the general in the highest
praise; accord him the highest rank OF
true Christian gentleman, and can
scarcely credit the serious charge upon
a character generally rated so high, al
though the visit of the bishop was viv-
idly recalled
Captain Hawkins told the writer that
it was the opinion of all the exchanged
prisoners from the points mentioned
that it was their firm conviction. in
view of the needless heinous cruelty OF
their keepers. that il would seem that
they were instructed to pursue course
of determination.
