Confederate Veteran, January 1894, page 2
Gen. John M. Harrell writes: I wrote from a sickroom, down with la grippe. Your
gossipy, genuine, genial "Old VETERAN" comes to cheer me.
I congratulate you on republishing the "Dead Confederacy " of Fannie Borland.
How
appropriate it is now, and was when written, by a girl of not then twenty. It reads
to me like a fragment from Keato. It glows with passion, but is crystalline in its
pride, mournful and graceful as winter and night, which it invokes. Miss Borland was
a great genius who perished too son. I knew her, and saw her in 1870, when she
completed a rare quartette of gifted, beautiful girls, that formed the family of
Gen. Pike, in Memphis, the others being the Misses Pike and Miss Sallie Johnson, now
Mrs. Cabell Breckinridge, each a type of surpassing beauty. Miss Johnson was sole
daughter of ex Senator R. W. Johnson, and Miss Borland, eldest daughter of ex
Minister Solon Borland.
