Spring Campaign

Gallant and Brave Men of the Corps;

First, I would like to apologize for my not being able to be with you in the field at Endview. I received a telegraph from the event organizers praising the Corps for your efforts! Because of your dedication the event turned a handsome profit. Captain Tim Smith and those of the Corps who made it possible are to be commended for an outstanding job well done!

Secondly, I am thrilled beyond description at the excellent turnout for the Bentonville event! I look forward to being in the field with such a Noble gathering of proud, dedicated soldiers such as the men of Longstreet's Corps! It is indeed an Honor and a privilege to be given the opportunity to lead such a determined and strong spirited band.

Lastly, as we begin this campaign season, let us resolve to remember our ancestors who made this journey before us. May we strive to constantly endeavor to bring Honor to their gallant efforts. Let our actions in the camps and on the field make them proud of our efforts. Until we meet on the field of Honor, I remain,


Your Most Humble Servant,
Maj. Gen'l. D. H. Cornett
Longstreet's Corps
