Scope & Content |
A letter written by Bernard to E. W. Schutte. The paper is very fragile and all sides are damaged. Bernard was replying to Mr. Schutte after a delay of several weeks, and thanked him for the pleasant words he wrote about the old soldiers of The Army of Northern Virginia, and for a comment he made about Bernard's book, War Talks of Confederate Veterans. Bernard then commented on the continuing good feelings of the old soldiers from the two armies, and on what a shame it is when some person rakes up something to stir up harsh feelings. Bernard then gave an example of this when he referred to a speech made by the Reverend Doctor Cave in Richmond. He concluded his letter by informing Mr Schutte that he (Bernard) was continuing to gather material for Volume II of War Talks of Confederate Veterans and that he enclosed some printed material from the book, which would sell for $1.50 when published. . |
