He also discusses Davis's potential return to Washington, D.C., writing: "I see from the newspapers a statement that Governor Lee of Virginia has written requesting you to be present sometime next month at the unveiling of the R. E. Lee monument; and that Mrs. Davis and your daughter Miss Winnie are expected to be with you there, as the guests of Governor Lee. When you get there would it not be agreeable to yourself and Mrs and Miss Davis to revisit Washington, so late the theater of your public career. You would meet many warm friends here, and would no doubt feel an interest in viewing the changes time has wrought."
