Richmond, July 24th, 1861
My dear General
I cannot express the joy I feel, at the beautiful victory of the 21st. The skill, courage, and endurance displayed by yourself excite my highest admiration. You and your troops have the gratitude of the whole country, and I offer to all my heartfelt congratulations at their success.
The glorious dead are at peace. I grieve for their loss, and sympathize with the living.May your subsequent course be attended with like success.
R.E.LEE.
