Jones, Charles Colcock, 1831-1893. Charles Colcock Jones, Jr. -- remarks on Robert E. Lee, 1876.

Title: Charles Colcock Jones, Jr. -- remarks on Robert E. Lee, 1876.

The collection consists of a bound manuscript compiled by Charles Colcock Jones, Jr. entitled "Letter of General Robert E. Lee tendering to the President of the Confederate States his resignation of the command of the Army of Northern Virginia: with explanatory remarks by Charles C. Jones, Jr." Thus, the main body of the manuscript is Jones' transcription of Lee's famous letter. More importantly, however, the volume has tipped in six prints of Lee, six of Jefferson Davis, two of General George Meade, and one each of Generals P.G.T. Beauregard, Braxton Bragg, A.P. Hill, T.J. Jackson, Joseph E. Johnston, John H. Morgan, and J.E.B. Stuart. Views included are two of the Battle of Gettysburg, the Capitol at Richmond, and two unusual views of Richmond, as well as a folding map. In addition three letters are tipped in: 1. opposite page 4. This letter from General G. E. Pickett to General Braxton Bragg, dated 26 April 1864, one page, discusses military matters preparatory to the Battle of the Crater and as such is historically important. 2. opposite page 6. Note signed by Robert E. Lee and addressed to President Davis informing him the the "Florida Brigade cannot be spared from the army." 3. opposite page 11. Note signed by Davis and dated 25 August 1863 referring to the above. Apparently both 2 and 3 are endorsements from the same original piece and separated by Jones for inclusion in this volume. The volume also has clippings of Jones' "A Piece of Secret History" (Scribner's Magazine, February 1876) and a review of this article (The Cycle, 29 January 1876).

Title: Message, 1864 February 9.

Lee comments on the actions of the general officers involved in the attack on New Bern, North Carolina. This appears to be a covering endorsement of a report filed by Major General George E. Pickett; however, his report, as printed, is dated 15 February 1864. The endorsement has been located only in Douglas S. Freeman's, Lee's Dispatches..., (New York, 1915). Freeman cites the source as "the private collection of Wymberley Jones De Renne of Wormsloe, Georgia," but it was not included in the part of that collection which was presented to the library by Mr. Bernard Baruch.
