To Mrs. Longstreet and Family:
The Dublin Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy wish to extend to you and yours their sincerest sympathy, which we, as well as the entire South, feel in the loss of one of her greatest chieftains, General James Longstreet. In his death the South has lost a noble, heroic son, whose deeds will live in the hearts of her people, a soldier, a general whose brave acts have caused every child of the South to honor, love, and revere his memory; a hero in whom the “elements were so mixed that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, this is a man.”
True to his convictions, he acted always after careful consideration as his judgment has shown him was best.
Miss Adeline Baum,
For the T. D. Smith Chapter of the Daughters of Confederacy.
