The former Confederate general writes to Captain Reverend James P. Smith regarding a memorial to General Jackson and whom the Reverend might be able to contact in Louisiana: "There are a good many of the Louisiana soldiers who served under Gen'l. Jackson who cherish a high regard for his memory, and among them is the Rev'd. Father Hubert of New Orleans, a Catholic Priest who was a chaplain in one of the Louisiana regiments." After his visit to New Orleans, Early writes again with a list of contacts: "if you will write to General Francis T. Nichols, Colonel H.B. Kelly, and Captain W.R. Lyman, of New Orleans, they will take an interest in providing the object of your appreciation in regard to the Memorial of General Jackson."
