It was four years old in the spring or sunner of 1861. Captail James W1'. Johnston, cc son of Mr. Johnston above mention c ed, sold me the horse for $175, Confederate States notes, in the fall '1. of 1861, when the Wise Legion, with other troops unde(1r General Lee, l were ceampedJ onl Sewell Mountain, opposed by General Rosecrain. While on Se i'ell General Lee fre ciiently admiireid the horse, and more than once jestingly remarked to me 1 to take good care of his colt, as he expeeted to need it before the trou ll e was over. 1, ats (uar,1ternsltter of the regiment (Third Wis, or t Sixtieth Virginia), had full privilege ' of the rear, and kept "Jeff" well AV. stabled and groomed, at lent five miles from the enemy. In Decen- HE her, 1861, the regiment to which I was aittacheid, then kniowni as the~ ASixtieth Virginia, Colonel Stark, was ordlered to theO South Carolina coast, whither General iLee had al readly pre(mled us. Of course "Jell" was taken along. Upon~i meeting with General Lee at PoEco taligo, South Carolina, he again in- - qulire d abont his colt in his~ usual wainning way. I then offered hlim the horse as a gift, which he pirompt Jl delinecd, in the fiendi~liest muan-a ner, however ;at the samiie time r eimarking thait if I wvould not will luig sell him the horse, he wold gladly use it for a week or two to) learn'f its qualllites, &c. I then left 7 "J ff" at Gleneral L~ee's stable. In aibotit a mionith after, 0one of his staff 011icer5 returined the horse to me1(, with a note from Genera'tl Lee to the effect that the animal suited him,a bunt that he could no longer use so valuable ai horse, ini such triouhi louis timesi, 11111ess it were' his own; thant if I wouild nt sell, pleanse to keep1 the horse, with many thankils ; thait if I woumld soll, the otheer would pa~iy me imy price andlo tke miy rece'ip)t for the amount, &c. I took anid re0 c'eipted for $200 Confederate States notes, and "Jefi'' becante t~hie oer ty of General Lee. This was ini Feb. ruary, 1862. In the springl ouf 1868 C -- General Lee wrote mue aL noEte staingo thaiit his horse hadl murvived the warl, A that it was known as -'lraveller" (Ir recollected how lhe spltl~Ed the word CI with two l's), and askinig for the a pedigree. I obtained thes pedligio (s0i from Cap~jtainl J. A. Jo~hnlstoni and ali for'warded it to) Genera'l [Lee.
