From the Richmond Whig, 5/26/1864, p. 1, c. 3
THE CADETS. - We have already
stated that this corps of gallant young soldiers had been assigned to duty under
command of Brig. Gen. Custis Lee. During their stay here previous to their
assignment, the Cadets were quartered at Camp Lee. On Tuesday evening a merited
and substantial compliment was paid them by the Secretary of War, in the shape
of a complete outfit of clothing for each member of the organization.
