Culpeper c. H., Nov. 7th, 1862.
My dear General,
Your kind favor of 17th ulto. was duly received. I have been
waiting to have your son's decision before writing. . . .
I heard yesterday that you and the President had had an
unpleasant interview. It is no business of mine, but I would like to take the
liberty to beg you not to allow anything to bring about any difference between
you. We think that all our hopes rest upon you and the hopes of the country rest
upon the army. You will readily perceive what weight you have to carry.
Most truly and
sincerely yours,
j. B. Longstreet.
