Robert E. Lee to Miss Neilia Cave

I am most grateful for your remembrance, & the useful present have made me. I trust a kind Providence will grant to a nations prayers the success you so ardently desire, & soon restore to us the blessings of peace. Evidences of its favor are constantly occurring. Genl Hoke on yesterday stormed & carried the enemy's works at Plymouth N.C. Capturing one Brigd Genl, sixteen hundred officers & men, twenty five pieces of Arty Stores etc

With great respect your obt servt
