Letter On Virginia Army Retreat From Richmond
Fragmentary Confederate telegrams describe the Army of Northern Virginia facing supply shortages. General Lee reports marching toward Appomattox with Longstreet and Ewell leading wings, the wagon train harassed by cavalry, and rations exhausted. He notes the surrender terms were discussed with General Grant, and outlines minimal ammunition and provisions remaining as the army moves toward Danville.
