Lee, Robert E., 1807-1870
to Ambrose E. Burnside re: the fate of Capt. E. P. Lawton
Captain Lawton, apparently a Confederate being held in Alexandria and probably mortally wounded, had asked to be visited by his wife. Lee's letter acknowledges receipt of Burnside's offer of conveyance for Mrs. Lawton.
