NDEIt the secrecy preserving
caption of "The Love Letters
a Confederate General"' a re
markable series of comiuuni
cations sent by a soldier to his beloved,
under the most dangerous and des
perate cireuinstuuces letters written
from the thick of war. ringing of lovo
and of valor-has been running in the
Pictorial Kevlow. The letters have
stirred up a controversy that has run
with particular zest through the south
ern states, and now that the last of
them Is about to be printed the woman
to whom they were written has con-
i sented that the anonymity be destroy
l ed. They were written by General
I George Pickett to the girl who was
first Lasalle Corbell, afterwnrd Mrs.
IMckett.
Mrs. Pickett Is now living in Wash
ington and bus been the lender of tho
southern coterie there for many years.

ters refer came In after years to be a

died a year and a half ago. returning

In the first one of the series Gen
eral IMckett tells why his allegiance
went to the Confederacy. He writes:

Following the failure of t lie peace
conference which preceded General
Lee's surrender General IMckett wrote
On every side gloom, dissatisfaction anl
disappointment seem to have settled over
all, men and officers alike, because of the
unsuccessful termination of the peace cea
ferenee on board the River Queen on ttiu

see everywhere bespeak heavy hearts,
our commissioners knew that we wen

of tho Informality of Iho conference and
my knowledge of Mr. Lincoln, his human
ity, his broad nature, his warm heart, 1
did believe he would take advantage of
this very Informality and spring some
wise, superhuman surprise which weulft
somehow restore peace and In time insure
unity. Now, heaven help us, it will be
war to the knife with a knife no louger
keen, the thrust of an arm no longer

comes It will follow the tread of the con

Commander. God pity them as the dnw
go by and the sad nights follow. The sol

The End In Sight.
The final letter of the series was
written a few hours before the surren
der of General Lee at Appomattox. It
follows In part:
Tomorrow, my darling, may see our flog
furled forever. Jackerle, our faithful oCl
mall carrier, sobs behind me as I write.
He bears tonight this his last message
from me as "Our Cupid." First be ifl
ttful dream, and. while its glory still over
shadows the waking and Alls my soul
with radiance, I write to make an earnest
request entreating, praying, that you will
grant It. You know, my darling, we have
no prophets In theso days to tell us how
near or how far Is the end of this awful
struggle. If the "battlo is not to the
strong" then we may win, but when all
our ports aro closed and the world Is
against us, when for ua a man killed Is
a man lost, while Grant may have twenty-five
of every nation to replace one of
his. It seems that the battle Is to the
strong. So often already has hope been
dashed to the winds.
As you know. It Is Imperative that I re
main at my post and absolutely Impossi
ble for me to go to you. So you will
have to como to mo, Wtll you, dear?
Will you come? Can't your beautiful
eyes see beyond tho mist of my eagerness
and anxiety that in the bewilderment of
my worship worshiping, as I do, one so
divinely right and feeling that my love Is
returned how hard It Is for me to ask
you to overlook old time customs, remem
bering only that you are to be a soldier's
wife? A week, a day, an hour, as your
husband would engulf In Its great Joy all
my past woes and ameliorate all future
fears!
So, my Chullta, don't let's wait Send
me a linn by Jackerle saying you will
come eorae at once, my darling, Into
this valley of the shadow of uncertainty
and make certain the comfort that If I
fall I shall fall as your husband; that you
vlll bear my name, will have been my
wife and will have all the rights of a wife.
You know that I love you with a devo
tion that envelops, absorbs nil else a de
votion so divine that when In dreams 1
see you It Is as something too pure and
sacred for mortal touch. And If you only
knew the heavenly life that thrills through
me when 1 make It real to myself that
you love me you would understand. Think,
my dear little one, of the uncertainty and

Hunch will oversee the work in
the wash room, giving the new
company two excellent workmen
to assist them in furnishing the
urtor public with first-class laundry
work, which win be a great renei
to the patrons of the laundry, who
have been compelled to put up
with very poor service in the past,
but the new company is determin
ed to furnish the best of service,
regardless of expense, and in se
curing this lady to have charge of
the ironing department they have
secured one who is lltted to give
the best results.

for an Invasion, It was evident that both,
tho advocates and opponents of secession
had lead fie portents aright.
You know, my little lady, some of those

The subject Is pursued In a later let

Why. Chullta mla. all that we ask Is a
separation from people of contending In

some coffee with your soldier? It Is some

The tin cup Is clenn and shining, but the

bacon that Is greasy, too, but It Is good
and tastes nil right If It will only hold
out till our stnrs and bars wave over our
land of the free and our home of the
brave and we have our own home. Nev
ermore we'll hear of wars, but only love
and life with Its eternal Joya.
On the night before General Tlckett
was wounded at Clnlues Mills he wrote
the following note:
This was never contemplated In
earnest. I believe that If either the north
or the south had expected that Its dif
ferences would result In this obstinate,
cruel war the cold blooded Puritan and
the cock hntted Huguenot and cavalier
would have made a compromise. Poor old
Virginia came oftener than Noah's dove
with her olive branch. Though she de
sired to be loyal to the union of states,
she did not believe In the right of coer
cion, and when called upon to furnish
troops to restrain her sister states she re
fused and would not even permit the pas
sage of an armed force through her do
main for that purpose. With no thought
of cost, no consideration of disparity of
relatlvo strength or condition, she rolled
up her sleeves, ready to risk all In defense
of a prlnrlplo consecrated by tho blood ot
her fathers And now. alas. It Is to late!
We must carry through this bitter task
unto the end May the end be soon.
Begged For Immediate Marriage.
In April. I.Httt. General IMckett, so
distraught with the fenr that death In
battle would overtnko him before he
could mnlte "Little Miss Snlllo" his
wife, wrote her to como to him n tones
and be married. If need be, by a road
side. In this letter be says:
"to morning I awakened from a beau-
altar, If you could hear tho prayers I of
fer to you and to our Heavenly Father
for you. II you knew the Incessant
thought and longing and desire to make

On Road to Gettysburg.-
The following exquisitely lyrical nnd
spiritual passage wns written on the
rond to Gettysburg:
Our whole army Is now In rcnnsylvunla,
north of the river. There were rumors
that Richmond was threatened from nil
sides Dlx from Old Point, Getty from
Hanover. Kevcs from Rottom's Ridge, and
bo on nnd that we might be recalled. It
turned out to be a Munchausen, and we
are still to march forward. Every tramp,
tramp, tramp la a thought, thought,
thought of my darling, every halt a bless
ing invoked, every command a loving ca
ress, and the thought of you nnd prayer
for you make me strong, make mo better,
give mo courage, give me faith. Now, my
Carlssima. let my soul speak to yours.
Listen listen -listen! You hear J am an
swered! This wns written the night lefore
the charge of Gettysburg:
Well, my sweetheart, ot 1 o'clock the
awful silence was broken by a cannon
shot and then another, and then more
than 100 guns shook the bills from crest to
base, answered by more than another 100
the whole world a blazing volcano, the
whole of heaven a thunderbolt, then dark
ness and absoluto alienee, then the grim
and grewsomo, low spoken commands,
then the forming of the attacking col
umns, the hurrying of the men to the po
sition assigned to them My brave Vir
ginians are to attack in front Oh, may
Ood In mercy help me aa ho never helped
me before!
I have ridden up to report to old Peter.
I shall give him this letter to mall U yeu
and a package to give you If Oh, ray
darling, do you feel the love of my heart,
the prayer, aa I write that fatal word
"Ifr
Now, my darllns;, 1 go, but remember
always that 1 love you with all my heart
and soul, with every fiber of my being;
that now and forever I am yours-yours,
my beloved. It la almost 3 o'clock. My
aoul reaches out to yours my prayers.
The following Is part of the dramatic
narrative of the battle of Gettysburg:
Ah. If I had only had my other two bri
gades a different story would have been
flashed to ths world! Poor old Dick Qar
nett did not dismount, as did the others
of us, and he was killed Instantly, falling
from his horse. Kemper waa desperate
ly wounded, was brought from the field
and subsequently taken prisoner. Poor
old Lewis Armlsteijd Ood bless him! was
mortally wounded at the head of his com
mand after planting tho Hag of Virginia
within the encmy'a llnea. Seven of my
colonels were killed, and one waa mortal-
y wounded. Nine or my lieutenant colo
nels were wounded, nnd three lieutenant
colonels were killed. Only one field ofllccr
of my whole command, Colonel Cabel, waa
unhurt, and the Ioes of my company offi
cers was In proportion.
1 wonder, my dear. If In the light of tha
great eternity we shall any of us feel this
was for the best and shall have learned
to sny. "Thy will be done?" No castles
todav. sweetheart. No: the bricks of hap
piness and the mortar of love must He un

dear, for the sorrowing ones.
