Today I am going to write a journal from General Lee's horse's perspective to General Lee about what they have seen.
April 9 1965
Dear General Lee,
Our army has been surrounded in Richmond for a while now. We are outnumbered and we could take it no longer. You went to Appomattox Court House this morning to surrender. I know how you feel, and I am sharing your grief. I was trying to comfort you, but I cannot talk. You are the bravest master I've ever known. I have never regretted to serve for you. I am willing to die for you and for our beloved Virginia. The good thing is, now the slaves are free, and the war is over. We could go home and live peacefully through the rest of our lives. Yesterday is probably the last time I fought with you. The war has lasted about five years. I sacrificed my youth in the battlefields. I am really glad I could fight with you. My life has not been wasted.
Sincerely,
Traveller
