_GENERAL LEE'S FAREWELL ORDER TO THE ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA._

HEADQUARTERS ARMY NORTHERN VIRGINIA,
April 10, 1865.

GENERAL ORDER, }
NO. 9. }

After four years of arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage
and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to
yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. I need not tell the
brave survivors of so many hard-fought battles, who have remained
steadfast to the last, that I have consented to this result from no
distrust of them; but, feeling that valor and devotion could
accomplish nothing that would compensate for the loss that must
have attended the continuance of the contest, I determined to avoid
the useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared
them to their countrymen.

By the terms of agreement, officers and men can return to their
homes and there remain until exchanged. You will take with you the
satisfaction that proceeds from the consciousness of duty well
performed; and I earnestly pray that a merciful God will extend to
you His blessing and protection. With unceasing admiration of your
constancy and devotion to your country and a grateful remembrance
of your kind and generous consideration for myself, I bid you an
affectionate farewell.

R. E. LEE, _General_.
