ADDENDUM.
The writer appends hereto two letters received by him approving the accuracy of the foregoing sketch—one from the distinguished jurist, who was his comrade in arms in the Junior Reserve brigade, and to whom the old soldiers owe a debt of gratitude for his monumental service in editing the Regimental Histories, the other by one of Lee’s best fighters and most trusted lieutenants, and the beloved commander of the boy-soldiers, whose valor is only equaled by his modesty.
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA,
SUPREME COURT.
Raleigh, N. C., October 18, 1901.
Colonel John W. Hinsdale,
My Dear Colonel,
