Brigadier General Lee writes to Colonel Robert Ould, Eastern Confederate agent for the exchange of prisoners. Requests that Ould examine the case of William Meade, a Bugler, Co. L, 1st Virginia, and to evaluate the case for the possibility Meade's exchange. Reports that Meade was taken prisoner December 1861, and was released on parole. Writes, "He is quite young and perhaps hardly understands the nature or obligation of parole- he is such a fine soldier I should like him to be released if possible in any way from his obligation."
