2024 Surratt Society Meeting and Conference

[Dennis Urban]

Congratulations Bill on your election as President of the Surratt Society. Louise has done a masterful job and I am certain you shall as well. I appreciated the brevity of the business meeting. Both speakers were excellent and we all know of the good job Dave Taylor does. Under your regular email, I'll send you some information on Cornelia MacDonald. She was 100% secessionist and paid dearly for it. She and husband Angus ran a girls school in Winchester pre-war. One or two of the Lee daughters attended the school. It closed in early 1862 as the war descended upon Winchester. Angus was tool old for military service but served as an C.S.official at Richmond until his death early in the war. Thanks again for a wonderful program.
