General James Longstreet, wounded in a friendly fire incident at the Battle of the Wilderness, mourns the death of Brigadier General Micah Genkins, killed by the same volley. "He has left to the youth of your state a noble legacy in his dauntless heroisms & spotless life, I trust that his memory will be cherished & his noble example will be felt for generations yet to come." Penned and signed by Mrs. Longstreet for her injured husband.
