[CIVIL WAR-CONFEDERATE] EARLY, JUBAL. Autograph letter signed.
Lynchburg: 21 July 1873. Two-page autograph letter signed "JA Early" on the recto and verso of one sheet of lined paper, 7 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches (20 x 12 cm). Folds, edges toned and lightly soiled.
Early writes John Letcher, Governor of Virginia during the Civil War, appointing him a delegate to an early convention of the Southern Historical Society, writing " As Governor of the State for the first three years of the War you had some little to do with the making the history, and perhaps now you can throw some light upon how it might to be written." Early had become the Virginia Vice President of the Society following the death of Robert E. Lee in 1871. The convention called for here may be related to the formation of the Lost Cause of the Confederacy movement. The events of the convention with Early's speech are recorded in The proceedings of the Southern Historical Convention ... at the Montgomery White Sulphur Springs, Va., on the 14th of August, 1873.
