That day, Mrs. Pryor attended a reception at the Spotswood Hotel in Richmond, where she saw President Davis. \"Is it true, Mr. President?\" she asked. Had her husband been promoted? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mr. Davis smiled benevolently and replied, \"I have no reason, Madam, to doubt it, except that I saw it this morning in the papers.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Robert E. Lee felt the same way as the president. He once sarcastically said to A. P. Hill: \"We made a great mistake in the beginning of our struggle, and I fear, in spite of all we can do, it will prove to be a fatal mistake. We appointed all our worst generals to command our armies, and all our best generals to edit the newspapers.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel W.
