Dear Southern Illustrated News Editor,
Is this the way you wanted the number 1354 of June 1868 cover to look? You see, I only received your telegraph yesterday. I know you may have hired some of my competitors to decide between mine and theirs. So here I will tell you the advantages, purposes and meanings of my cover. I heard that your main article was one of our greatest confederate generals: Thomas Jonathan Stonewall Jackson so I pictured him on his galloping horse, fatally wounded in battle by Pickete. On the top I put your logo, and I put the names of other important and catchy articles around Jackson’s portait. It shows you how courageous he was. The wound he has in his arm is the wound that will cause his death a few months later. This battlefield is the battlefield of the Chancelors Wille. In the backround I show his strategy through his men (45th regiment) on the left side of the battlefield. Civil war historians say that Jackson had a gift for strategy. I put a look of fear and concern in his eyes because he is worried about his wound as it is almost certain that he will have his arm amputated (which failed to save a man’s lives almost 60% of the time). I sincerely hope that by all means you will choose my version of this cover and approve of my view and concept of Southern Illustrated News.
My best regards and highest esteem,
Lydie M. HUA
