W.H.F. Lee to Marcus J. Wright

Yours with enclosures was received during my absence from home – was hence the cause of my delay in replying.

I have filled up the blanks from memory as all my official papers were burned in campaign of ’65.

I was elected col of the 9^th V^a cavalry on the reorganization of the army of N. V^a, which I think. took place in March, but you, doubtless, have the date before you.

I think the other dates are correct, or sufficiently so, for all purposes.

I will endeavour to obtain for you a photograph taken during the days of the Confederacy, which is the are I presume your desire.

I will retain the other papers enclosed, until I can consult some member of my staff.

I remain

Your’s very respectfully

W. H F Lee
