Year inferred from content. Thanks Hunt for offering her information, possibly related to her book on the life of Robert E. Lee. Mentions General Cooper (possibly Samuel Cooper), Lee's wife, her friend Mary Randolph Custis Lee, and General [Dunn?]. Mason's reference to the health of Lee indicates that this letter was written before Lee's death on 12 October 1870.
