This letter is not in Lee's hand, though it is signed by him. 15 days after taking command of the (C.S.A.) Army of Northern Virginia, Lee hopes to consult with Sec. Randolph. It is possible that the meeting was arranged to discuss strategy and preparations for his offensive known as the Seven Days Battles that commenced a little over a week after the letter was written.
