Beauregard replies to an inquiry about the origins of the name "Stonewall" for General Thomas J. Jackson after the 1st Battle of Manassas (Bull Run). He refers him to his article titled "Bull Run" and published in the Century. He remarks, "Most of us wore our old U.S. Uniforms at the Battle [of Bull Run] with our state buttons instead of the old ones." He informs Lawsing that he was the first brigadier general appointed in the Provisional Army of the Confederacy, and was the 5th full General appointed after the Battle of Manassas (Bull Run) on July 21, 1861.
