"I brought with me one of the flags, one of the few flags that was surrendered and carries now the marks of the bullets that passed through it. This flag was in the Seven Days. This flag flapped at Chanselorsville. This flag was on the ridge at Gettysburg. This flag went through all the experiences and all the blood and slaughter of the Wilderness and of Spotsylvania Court House. This Flag was at Ream's Station. This flag, my father saw it, came up the hill when the Crater was recovered, at the end of July in 1864. And this flag with the tears of the men who fought it, was laid down on the that red clay field half mile up the road at Appomattox in 1865."

"My column reached Yellow Tavern about 8 a.m. No enemy had passed that point but citizens and some furloughed men report that the enemy have gone in heavy column toward Dover Mills on James River. It is probable that they will either turn toward Richmond on that road or toward Gordonsville. I will sweep after them from Yellow Tavern and from Kirby's Mill, and will let you hear from me from time to time. I sent you one dispatch this morning by young George. I also heard some firing towards their place of encampment at about 7 a.m. Probably Gordon engaging them. The Central road is safe to Hanover Junction. JEB Stuart, Major Genl - Please telegraph substance of this to Gen RE Lee Send dispatch by Yellow Tavern to take Lomax's line of march. JEBS"

[Editor's note: We believe this to be the last dispatch from Stuart]
