My dear Mr Hopkins

            Your book arrived & I have read enough of it to say that I think it fun—I had seen it mentioned—but had never opened it before yesterday I think you have made a very entertaining book & one that all our boys should read.

 

            I thank you for your kind words about my book about my father—

 

            I am not sure that I ans^d your questions put to me in your letter—I think I did—but will do so again—to make sure—you can use any pictures in my book you want / Doubleday Page & Co consenting M Miley Photographer Lexington Va. at H P Cook 913 E Main St Richmond Va can furnish you with any picture of Gen^l Lee you desire—

 

            There is only one of Traveller & that is the one you have seen—with his master mounted on him—That was taken by Miley—Lex Va—between /65 & /70

 

                                                                        Yours truly

                                                                        R E Lee
