Lee denies the request of a soldier, Graham H. Simrall, to transfer to Gen. Morgan's command in order to be near his family. Lee cites the "dimunitition of this army" in denying the request. His response is written on verso of letter of William Preston Johnston to the Secretary of War, requesting the transfer.
